When Giants Come to Play

When Giants Come to Play by Andrea Beaty, illustrated by Kevin Hawkes.

This magical picture book tells the story of what happens when two giants come to play with Anna.  From hide and seek to jump rope, they have a wonderful time.  Each game and activity is done in a giant sort of way.  Trees are pulled out when they pick peaches, cars are raced with real cars, and Anna’s older sister is used as their dolly.  The illustrations are soft and reflect an old-fashioned feel, but are enlivened by a real sense of humor. 

Share this one for giant storytimes or as a real treat for any preschooler or kindergartener.  It is a lot of fun.
