Customer Reviews

You have to read this book!

I have been a children's librarian for 11 years. I use this book every year during National Children's Book Week. I read it to Preschoolers through 2nd graders. Every year I ask students to write down their favorite book. This one wins in a landslide! PLEASE REPRINT IT!!!!!! I have people who want to buy it for their kids and it's out of print. If you want a sure hit, with students or children of your own, try to get a copy of this book.

Please re-print it!

My 2 year old daughter absolutely adored this book borrowed from our library. She called it 'the giants eye ' book , and the excitement would mount for her as we read through to the end. She could also read it herself by memory!Fantastic book.

Unique, creative, exciting, and absorbing!

I wish this book was still in print -- I'd love to buy many copies for friends. I found it very unique among any other children's books I've read because of how it is read and its very fun and unsual ending! My 2-year old absolutely loves it, as does my 6-year old nephew (so the book can appeal to quite an age range). The tension builds as you read through the book in a whisper... Trying to make your way through the giant's castle without waking him! The tension builds to an exciting finish that suddenly brings you back to reality and breaks the tension in a delightful way! I HIGHLY recommend this book!

Wow -- This book is great to read to preschool age children!

I am a preschool teacher, and this is one of my children's favorite books. The children feel so powerful at the end. I wish this book was available -- it is sooooo hard to find

Shhh! Lift the Flaps but Don't Wake the Giant!

I work at a child care center, the children get so engrossed in the book and their excitement builds with each page. I would try this book as a child is going off to play with a friend. The book is a rare find and wonderful for the child's imagination. I would say children from age two to 102 can enjoy this book with others.
