About the author
What families say
We love this book, my twins particularly enjoy the illustrations and identifying the different animals in the background. As well as the rhymes which recount the different people that have been helped by the giant. A favourite in our house!
i love reading this book and singing along with the giant's song, both my daughters and my nephew love this book i also bought a copy of this book for my nephew so he can enjoy it at home with his mum. fantastic book :)
My 3 yr old loves this book - as well as the books to read at bedtime, we have a Julia Donaldson CD we listen to in the car (preferable to nursery rhymes!). This is his favourite (even over the usual fave the Gruffalo) and he can quote it word for word! I'm looking forward to my 9m old being old enough to start enjoying it too. It has also spawned a common quote in our house "Cheer Up!"
lovely rhymes. My 4 year old boy loves this and we read this at least once a week
Me and my oldest son like this book. It's a good way of learning how to be kind and to share.
Hannah really enjoyed this book she likes to read it overe and over again the story will never get old for her very good x
My 2 girls love this book one of the favourites.
I pick this book up just because it was there and i wanted to keep my 4mth old entertained whilst waiting for story time at our local library to start. I was really glad that I did its great story would recomend it to a friend.
