How Do You Feed a Hungry Giant? A Munch-and-Sip Pop-Up Book

Caitlin Friedman, illus. by Shaw Nielsen. Workman, $18.95 (30p) ISBN 978-0-7611-5752-6

A gentle giant clothed in patchwork clothing appears in a boy’s front yard carrying a sign that says, “Food Please.” The giant gobbles an entire pizza, slurps up 15 bottles of chocolate milk from a kiddie pool, and consumes 197 cookies, but remains hungry. Luckily, the boy’s mother is willing to help. The well-integrated interactive elements—pop-ups, tabs, and flaps—add an extra touch of fun to this lighthearted story about compassion, which unfolds through the boy’s breathless narration (“Seriously, you’re not going to believe this”) and his dog’s sardonic commentary. Recipes for “a hungry giant or eight little kids” are included. Ages 4–8. (Oct.)
