5.0 out of 5 stars I cry every time I read this, 10 Oct 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Once There Were Giants (Paperback)
I bought this book for my son just after his baby sister had been born. Maybe it was because I bought it at that special "new baby" time, but every time I read it I get caught up with the idea of my children growing up and feel very emotional.

The book uses simple language with some repetition (which is very appealing to young children) to take snapshots of a girl's life from being a baby (surrounded by giants - her parents) to being one of the giants herself when she has her own baby girl.The last page echoes the first ..."There are giants in the house again... and one of the giants is me"

I challenge you to read this one to your children with dry eyes!
(oh and by the way ... my children love it too - but maybe not as much as me!)

5.0 out of 5 stars An enchanting book about the circle of life., 8 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Once There Were Giants (Paperback)
This is a book that our school uses and recommends for reading. I read it at a parents evening and came away completely emotional. I hope that it will show my children how I feel for them and how I have experienced things as a child that they are now doing. A must read for all mothers and their children

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully illustrated story, 28 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Once There Were Giants (Paperback)
I first borrowed this book from the library for my children - once we had read it, I had to buy it. It follows the life of a baby girl as she grows up and finally has a baby of her own. I defy any mum to read it to her children without tears in her eyes!
