Are there any elements of truth in Jack and the Beanstalk? Beans don't grow overnight, and giants don't live in clouds. Integrating science with literacy, this book adds funny ""Truth Time"" sidebars to a retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk, explaining real plant growth and human gigantism. Includes discussion of fairy tale traits, fictional vs. real comparison chart, glossary, and book and website resources. Perfect for young students just learning about fiction and nonfiction and real versus not real, this title supports CCSS standards for reading literature.
