Giants Have Feelings, Too/Jack and the Beanstalk (Another Point of View)

Rating:
Summary: Great Point of View
Review: I really enjoyed this story and I can't wait for the new school year to begin. We are going to use this version as well as others to teach point of view. I think this book will be a great help and I really believe the kids are going to love this new spin on an old tale.

Summary: Great idea, terrific book
Review: What a great idea. Dr. Granowsky has done a lot toward teaching kids about empathy withthis lovely little book.

First you can read the traditional story of Jack and the giant, then flip the book and read something completely different (even the illustrators differ)! Here is how the new telling begins:

"I am sure that the rest of you people down below are very nice. But that boy, Jack, is something else. After I was so kind to him, he stole from us, and he hurt my husband. All because we are giants! That's no reason to take our treasures or make my husband fall on his head. See what you think."

I will definitely buy other books by this author, and would encourage you to enjoy this one.
