REVIEWS

Wistfully illustrated Bournemouth Daily Echo

A clever story, not just about fear of the unknown but of the dangers of prejudice Cork Evening Echo

Giants, it turns out, are not so different from us after all - a twist that will give three-to-five-year-olds something to ponder. Maland's distinctive illustrations are a treat too. FT Magazine

And this is a tale of prejudice and how stressful the whole blasted business of judgementalism is. Never too early to drill a little open-mindedness into your fledgling dictators, especially if the verse isn't of the cringe-inducing variety. I mean, this actually scans. And the message is as succinct as its attractive illustrations. The Bookseller Crow, Families Magazine
