Instructional Uses and Student Activities: The story has a fairy tale like quality. Have the children write their own fairy tale with their imagination taking them places that a huge kid could go. Make believe, dress-up, and classroom construction of small cities and landscapes would help to Feel their stories with props. The language is clear and easy to read and the print is large and old. this book would be great for children to share reading in large groups with the teacher as observer. Prediction about what things Billy would be unable to do if he really were this big would make great follow-up discussion.---from Tony Lewis on Goodreads
