review 1: This twist on the original Jack and the Beanstalk was very entertaining. I like that the giant was not mean, he was just lonely. All he wanted was to have people to spend time with and share his life with, but being stuck at the top of the beanstalk he never gets that. So, when Jack climbs up he is extremely excited to have company. I also like the theme that no matter how different, you can be friends with all kinds of people.
review 2: This book is a fun rendition of the original Jack and the Beanstalk. The illustrations are bright and full of depth; it seems like it is made from a Pixar movie! They are marvelous! I liked how the story used the same characters and plot of the original story, but twisted the setting and details of the story and characcters. Fo
... morer example, the giant seems mean at first, but once you read more about the giant, you realize how nice he is. Students can compare and contrast the original to this version of the text. I recommend this book to students in middle elementary grades. less
