Editorial : From School Library Journal Kindergarten-Grade 3–Hewitt Anderson is a normal-sized boy born into a family of giants who firmly believe that bigger is better. At the age of seven, their son is so tiny that his anxious parents consult doctors and specialists from all over the world. When none of them can explain "the circumstances surrounding Hewitt's small and unimposing stature," the loving parents formulate some lessons in survival for the boy. However, it is the little guy himself who ends up helping them survive the lessons.

Oh, his parents worry: How will their son manage to live in a world of big things? Leave it to Hewitt to prove the power of being small.Inspired by the tale of “Jack and the Beanstalk,” the inimitable Jerdine Nolen tells an original story of bravery and the power of the individual. Kadir Nelson’s imaginative and loving illustrations create a world where smallness rules—a world that children will

I had the opportunity to meet Anne Jung Holden and hear her speak at the Dautermann family reunion/Wisc 2004. They will read about how the leftist, Marxist propaganda machine in the United States is, in the name of "fairness", "equality", or "justice" (pick your buzzword) consuming the masses with a level of claptrap that's never been seen before. Though the packaging on this product claims it works with a Mac, I was unable to get it to work properly. I enjoyed it so much that I downloaded books two and three immediately after finishing the first. My only criticism is that it wasn't longer as I didn't want the pleasure to end. I ENJOY reading his books. It is as good a history book as it is a novel; social scientists will find it valuable and educators will find it to be of great relavance. I will always recommend beginners study with a t
