They run out of food and money, so Paco's mom tells him to go sell their cow. While on his way to sell the cow, Paco comes across an old man who offers to trade the cow for "Magic semillas de chile" (chili seeds). Paco plants the chili seeds and grows an enormous "planta de chile" (chile plant). Paco climbs up the plant and finds golden chilies. He also found a terrible giant who, when he cries, shrinks down and turns into Paco's dad. The golden chilies turned him into the giant. They climb down the chili plant to meet with Paco's mom. Personal Reaction: This story is a twist on the classic "Jack and the Beanstalk". This is a great story for students that know Spanish along with English. The illustrations are great in this book, they were sketched in pencil then rendered digitally. Children will like that this book goes from a normal boy into a fiction story. Classroom Extensions: A good compare and contrast exercise can be done between the classic story and this redone multicultural one. Another activity that can be done is to have the children in the class that speak Spanish translate the Spanish phrases for the rest of the class. This story was very much like Jack and the Beanstalk, instead of climbing up a giant beanstalk the little boy climbs up a giant chile plant. The ending of this story is very unpredictable, it will allow the children to come up with many predictions allowing great excitment in the end. This book is a very fun and excitinf book for the children although I dont believe that it is very educationaly based. In the classroom we would plant a bean and a chile plant then compare them later on after growth to allow the children to see what they are in real life. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The desert of the southwestern United States is the unexpected setting for this retelling of the classic fairy tale, Jack and the Beanstalk. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I would enjoy using this book to help students learn Spanish vocabulary. Younger students could draw pictures of words, and older students can match the Spanish word to the English word. We can also talk about what countries are Spanish speaking, as well as discuss what other languages students know of. ( )
