Once There Were Giants cover

Once there was a baby in the house - and to that baby, Mum and Dad and Jill and John and Uncle Tom were giants. But little by little, that baby grew up - until she became a giant too! Martin Waddell says of the book, "Small children live in a world designed for big people. I wrote this story to help them understand it, and the idea of growing older."

[The] delicately drawn, nicely realistic scenes... have a fullness of detail that children always appreciate. * The Observer *
Turning the pages of this book is like looking through a family photo album. * Books for Keeps *
