The children in my circle enjoy stories about giants, so the green giant in this story caught their interest. Half of our granddaughters live in Chicago, and the others do not. So both sets of kids have a clear understanding of the difference between city life and conditions, and places outside the city. They also enjoy fantasies, so this story fits right in with stories they like.
At first the giant appears to be a frightening character, but this is far from the case.
From the publisher: A young girl, Bea, and her dog, Iris, are staying with her grandpa in the country. Bea is bored, but Iris's adventures lead them to the small and rusty old greenhouse next door. Inside the greenhouse, Bea finds... a giant. A giant made entirely of plants and greenery. Bea is scared, but the giant reassures her and explains that he has escaped from the grey city. Bea and the giant become friends, but can they do anything to make the grey city, and the world, a greener place?
