There Is No Giant in This Story
by Lou Carter
Thank you NetGalley and Bloomsbury Children's Books for this eCopy to review
I picked up There Is No Giant In This Story expecting a fun twist on classic fairy tales, and I wasn’t disappointed! The story follows a big, scary giant who has come down from his beanstalk, eager to play. But Jack, Cinderella, the Gingerbread Man, and their fairytale friends aren’t so sure about his intentions. As chaos unfolds, the characters must figure out how to stop Giant from wreaking havoc on their town and, more importantly, teach him how to play nicely.
The book is packed with humour, vibrant illustrations, and a fresh take on familiar characters. Deborah Allwright’s artwork brings the story to life with expressive, dynamic scenes that perfectly complement Lou Carter’s playful writing. The rhyming text makes it a joy to read aloud, and the message about inclusion and understanding is subtly woven into the fun.
There is no Giant in this Story is a delightful read, especially for young children who love fairy tales with a twist.
