How Do You Feed A Hungry Giant Childrens Book Review
Jude likes books a lot but he really LOVES pop-up/interactive books like HOW DO YOU FEED A HUNGRY GIANT by Caitlin Freedman and illustrated by Shaw Nielson. This is a fun book about a little boy named Oscar that befriends a hungry giant.
The story is about a little boy helping to feed a lonely, hungry giant he finds sitting in his backyard. Oscar has a big heart and so does his mother…and at no point are they scared by the giant’s size. I used this story and Oscar’s instinct to help to talk to my kids about the opportunities they have in their day to help those around them. I also talked to them about thinking a little bigger…yes, you can help the boy in your class pour his milk AND you can help a boy you have never met by donating a can of food. If you are lucky enough to have what you need then you have a responsibility to help those that don’t.
