What is Diane Goode's Book of Giants and Little People about?

An unforgettable cast of miniature and massive characters fills this fabulous collection of stories and poems, the latest in the series by Diane Goode. Here the <em>Caldecott Honor</em> medalist matches the large with the small to come up with a winning combination. Drawn from a wide variety of sources, favorites such as "The Shoemaker and the Elves" and "Teeny-Tiny" appear alongside lesser-known selections such as the Italian folktale "Little Lella" and the African-American "Wiley and the Hairy Man. "Each story is perfectly illustrated by Diane Goode's distinctive artwork, by turns hilarious and witty, warm and charming. Giants' heads and hands burst over the borders of the art, while paintings of tiny people nestle diminutively in the text like miniature gems. Capturing a multitude of dainty fairies, hairy ogres, industrious elves, and dim-witted giants, Goode achieves an exuberant mix of fascinating folklore and sheer fun. This collection, which begs to be read over and over, will please readers tall, tiny, or anywhere in between. Diane Goode's award-winning Dutton books include <em>Where's Our Mama?</em> and <em>Mama's Perfect Present; The House Gobbaleen</em>, by Lloyd Alexand
