I don't like this book. My 4-year-old thinks it's the greatest. She asks for it every time we go to the library. It's one of those, "I can't explain it, but it makes her so happy." situations. I guess I'll buy her a copy of her own. sigh.

My good friend read this book aloud to a group of 20-25 children. A great discussion book! Went over well!! Lots of lessons to be learned.
Rude Giants
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is a great read aloud for young children. The pictures are colorful and inviting. The story is fantasy/folk-tale like. It reminds me illustation wise of Jack and the Beanstalk. It is written in understandable text. Beatrix has a wonderful cow. The Rude Giants are hungry and want to eat the cow. Beatrix manipulates the giants into becoming clean, well-mannered giants while saving her cow. The pictures of the giants are humorous, not scary for young readers. The characters are well-developed; as well as, the storyline. Audrey Wood has another enjoyable book, written and illustrated, to be loved by all.
