The Giant Book of Giants

This fittingly oversize book offers six giant stories from around the globe, including Jack and the Beanstalk, a coyote trickster tale, and the story of Sinbad’s third voyage. Accompanying the volume is a sturdy poster that unfolds and pops out into an ogre-like giant that stands over four feet tall and can be hung from a wall. The poster includes flaps, removable objects, and various asides and allusions to the stories, but the attention-grabbing giant may steal focus from the loosely connected tales. Ages 4–up. (Aug.)
