Description
This is a book that could be paired with Jack and the Beanstalk stories. John and his mother are poor giants and he goes out in search of a job to earn money so that they can eat. He encounters a king, queen and their castle, and does monumental tasks that his size allows him to do. In the end he returns to his mother and they eat well.
Description
Hired to perform odd jobs at the royal castle, Giant John's work pleases everyone until the musical fairies arrive and the friendly giant cannot resist the urge to dance.
