How Do You Feed a Hungry Giant?

by Caitlin Friedman and Shaw Nielsen

When a boy named Oscar discovers a giant - a very hungry giant holding a sign that says "Food Please" - in his backyard, he knows he can't turn his back on him. Yet it's not easy feeding a hungry giant. A whole pizza disappears in a single gulp. Twelve blueberry muffins, 33 jars of peanut butter, 197 chocolate chip cookies - all just an appetizer. So what is little Oscar to do? Just how do you feed a hungry giant? In this warmly illustrated and interactive picture book, the reader gets to help Oscar feed the giant. But despite Oscar's best efforts - he cleaned out the fridge AND the pantry! - the giant still remains hungry. That's when mum comes to the rescue. She has eight great recipes, including Mega-Pigs in Blanket, Jumbo Fries, The Biggest Burger in the World, Ginormous Blueberry Muffin. Each serves one giant - or eight kids. Yes, the "feed a giant" recipes are included in the book, printed in a separate 8-page mini cookbook, and are ideal for a kid's party.

Now this is fun and funny. Oh what little kiddos will do when unsupervised. At least his heart is in the right place. I have always liked pull-the-tab and lift-the-flap books. Now I am excited to have this one to share with my daughter. She is already amused and shouts "let me do it!" to make the giant grow. All in all, you gotta love a book that understands the importance of a mama. *wink*
