This study aims to raise the question how dangerous it is to acccept the children's literature that readers often encounter in real life without being critically conscious, and to foster an attitude that allows readers to accept texts in all languages from a critical perspective. Learners of this study have prior knowledge in advance to improve their critical reading skills with Jack and the Beanstalk. Therefore enhancement of the critical reading abilities in the previous study results in a positive effect. A parody, Trust me! Jack’s beanstalk stinks!, was employed to discern students' critical abilities and how the parody affected them and to test the improvement of their critical abilities. Similar to the previous study, using the instructor's problem-posing questions, the learners discussed with each other and practiced critical thinking by investigating the intended appearance, gender, racism, gender role, writer's ideology and stereotypes in the text. The learners showed a better effect on their critical reading abilities in this activity, which were not shown in the previous study. After their reading activity, the learners created and presented their parody by changing their own perspectives, with different protagonists, and so on to see how the parody literature affects critical reading abilities. Thus, the parody enhanced the learners' creativity. The duration of the study was not long and there were four participants, however, learning with a parody enabled one to have a positive effect on critical reading and gain a learning effect to ameliorate creativity through parody writing.
