Summary: Otto was a giant with razor sharp teeth and beady, little eyes. He was enormous like any other giant. He was caring and polite which is unlike any other giant. His parents let him have a pet, and he chose a hen over a dragon! A little human man came to the land of the giants and stole Otto's hen. Otto climbs down the beanstalk because this is an emergency. Otto goes on a big adventure to find his hen. Otto surprisingly made being fierce go out of style for the giants.
I would use this in my classroom to teach about folk tales and how they change with each story teller. This version includes different nursery rhymes that you can catch throughout the story.
