Parent Guide > How to Hire a Giant

This week in class, we’re reading "How to Hire a Giant" by Pamela Love.

In "How to Hire a Giant," a young servant outsmarts a greedy giant.

As we read, we will be discussing the theme of Honor & Courage as it relates to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"What does it mean to be brave?" and "What makes a hero?"

Ways to support your child:

• Ask your child about this piece of fantasy at home:
  • What was "How to Hire a Giant" about?
  • What did you learn about Honor & Courage?
• Watch the following clips with your child at home:
  • 'Not All Princesses Wear Pink'
  • 'Read Aloud- Jack and the Beanstalk as told by the Giant | Fairy Tales from another point of view'
