Shaq and the Beanstalk and Other Very Tall Tales Reviews

  • Laurie Anastasio

    I loved reading this so much to my classes that I bought another copy when the first fell apart from years of use.

  • Dan Schwartz

    What more needs to be said then Shaq and fairy tales. The basketball legend now sinks his teeth into yet another of his many careers. To add to the ever growing list of actor, sports superstar, matador, and rapper, Shaquille can claim rights to writer. This book is a real page turner as we follow Shaq's real life exploits through his travels. These true accounts reveal how he was quick on his feet when faced with a mighty bean stalk which he soon overcame, how Shaq single handedly bested three bears, how Shaq really updates his wardrobe, how Shaq has trouble with bridges and Shaq adventures while riding in the hood.

    The only thing that would have made this book better is if Shaq did the illustrations himself...Shaq the artist? I think we will be seeing this in the near future.

  • Maggie

    In Shaq and the Beanstalk, O’Neal mixes both the urban lifestyle and good morals with the classic Jack and the Beanstalk.
