Jack and theBean STEW
Jack and the Bean Stew is a whimsical tale, affirming compassionate and kind deeds - and BEANS for protein! The final pages include a bean stew recipe and a brief nutrition science lesson, making this book a clever and creative teaching tool for promoting the health and earth-friendly benefits of choosing beans for protein.
I Love Jack and the Bean Stew! The story not only creatively weaves allusions to various fairy tales into the story, it sends a powerful message -- be kind -- in a down-to-earth, kid-friendly, yet very powerful way. Fabulous illustrations, too! Jason Folkman, Parent & Teacher
