A unique addition Home Schooling curriculums November 6, 2006
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)

Written with imagination and humor by Ann McCallum and nicely illustrated throughout in full color by James Balovek, "Beanstalk: The Measure Of A Giant" is a clever picturebook twist on the classic fairy tale of a young man who exchanges the family cow for some magic beans and climbs into a cloud kingdom where he tricks a giant and steals a goose that lays golden eggs. But in "Beanstalk", young Jack befriends the giant. But how can a 20-foot giant and a 4-foot boy get along together? Part of the fun is the use of mathematics to figure out the ratios of human-to-giant sized fun. The illustrations help young readers with understanding the math concepts employed as Jack and his new giant friend solve their seemingly conflict height problems. Also available in a hardcover edition "Bean Stalk" is very highly recommended reading for children ages 7 to 10, and a unique addition Home Schooling curriculums, as well as elementary school and community library collections for young readers.

The k-3 children from my school loved this book. It is easy to tie it to the original Jack and the Beanstalk and to kinds of measurement. The very young children realized that Jim had to measure the Giant's head with a measruing tape because a ruler couldn't go around it. They had fun measuring each other with standard and non standard measuring tools after they heard the story.
