Hagop and The Hairy Giant: The Armenian Version of Jack and the Beanstalk;

The classic fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk retold with an Armenian twist! Hagop and the Hairy Giant takes place in Masis, Armenia, where our hero Hagop scales a magic noorr (pomegranate) tree to rescue the lovely Maryam, a prisoner of Medz Mazod, the hairy giant. But before he saves the girl, Hagop must first go head-to-head with Medz Mazod, battling him with a kebab shish, leading to other adventures with the giant's magic oud (Armenian guitar) and golden hav (hen). Exciting full-color illustrations bring the story to life, depicting beautiful Armenian landscapes and characters that look stereotypically Armenian. Hagop and the Hairy Giant is written in “Arm-English” (English with some Armenian words) and includes a glossary and pronunciation guide to help readers learn the meanings of the Armenian words and to pronounce them correctly. A delight for Armenian children!
