There''s a lot of trouble that a big giant can get into when no one is around! Set in the wide expanse of Eastern Africa, this wholly fresh and original tale demonstrates how a good laugh can be the beginning of a great friendship. Breathtaking illustrations with sprawling vistas capture the energy and humor of this original tale by a beloved author.
