The Sleeping Giant and Other Stories

The author-illustrator has a delicate air that sustains the little story of The Sleeping Giant (hills that moved from Mount Carmel, Conn., to the International Date Line in order to escape being chopped and drilled into dull flatness); The Lost Shadow; and A Nice Room For Giraffes. The pictures in these three stories are fun for the imaginative child, the tales are fun for those who like word play.
