Jim Teaches Morals!,
By Patricia Patterson (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jim and the Beanstalk (Paperback)
As a first grade teacher, I have used this book for many years when faced with the task of teaching my students about respect, honesty, and good-samaritanism!I have yet to meet a 6 year old who's not heard of Jack and the Beanstalk. But, what happened to the giant after Jack took his gold and his beloved hen (goose)? Jack was a thief, but Jim is a delightful young man who wants nothing more than to help the poor, pessimistic giant he's encountered. This is a heartwarming story which can be extended by both parents and teachers to enrich a child's understanding and acceptence of others.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great fun,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jim and the Beanstalk (Paperback)
In addition to being a teaching tool, this book is also great fun! A friend of mine who teaches in kindergarten paired it with Jack and the Beanstalk, reading the standard version first so the children had a particular image of the giant in their minds, and then reading this book, about a time when the giant is an old man. The children loved it! The illustrations are wonderful, from Jim carrying a giant-sized pair of glasses to the fully outfitted giant at the end. Afterwards, the children did a good job of comparing and contrasting the two stories. A great book!

funny, poignant, instructive (in a good way),

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jim and the Beanstalk (Paperback)
Without being didactic, this story teaches kids that it is good to things just because it is a good thing to do and that sometimes helping someone else is a lot of work. Kids like the story although there was some initial confusion about this being Jim and not Jack and how this story was all wrong and how the boy is not supposed to befriend the giant. Nice artwork, not overly fancy, but gets the point across to kids.
