Three kids share
banter and different versions of well known fables and fairy tales. This
book features Jack and the Beanstalk stories from Appalachia Norway, and
Scotland.
Geared towards students
who are just moving past Early Readers. This series is an intriguing way to introduce
the concept that similar tales have been told across cultures. This would make
an easy read aloud lesson for teachers. Student would have a fun time
discussing what exactly is the important part of the core story. Students who
came across it on their own would find an interesting read as well.
