I was looking for a book that would discuss different religions in a literature-type of way and this book does that without overwhelming the reader. It is also interesting from a cultural point of view. Readers also get a feeling about how a family of a different culture lives. Even though all the children are living in Oregon, they still have ties to their "roots."
My children and I read and discussed the various aspects of each religion we read about in this book.
I give it two thumbs up!

Forgetful Plug goes to the store for his mother, repeating the phrase, "Soap! Soap! Don't forget the soap!" But with each encounter he forgets the phrase, picking up a new one, getting into trouble, and getting dirtier each time. By the time he remembers the soap, he is in desperate need of it when he gets home.

This book is a fun piece of entertainment, but I gave it 4 stars, since there are certainly more memorable folktales out there.

Remember when Jack thought he had it made with the hen that laid golden eggs, the magic harp and the bag of coins? Well no such luck. The late giant has a brother, an even bigger brother, who is furious with Jack. So, Jack takes his mother, his loot and boards a ship for the U.S. of A.
He finds a pleasant farm in the mountains of North Carolina, believing the giant will never find him there. Not only that but Jack is now raising prize-winning roses. Ah, life is good until one temperature topping day in August. Why, it was so hot that Jack had to surround the hen with ice "to keep her from laying hard-boiled eggs instead of golden ones." Then, just as he was taking his ease and a big gulp of lemonade he heard a loud, threatening bellow - it was the giant!
Can Jack outsmart and outrun another giant?
Will Hillenbrand's marvelously warm and funny illustrations were created with a mix of media - wooden pencils, inks, egg tempera, colored pencils, oils. They're the perfect partner for this fun and fantastic tale.
Youngsters will enjoy this continuation of a favorite story, while adults will chuckle at Jack's antics.
