Hey, you-yes, YOU!
Remember when we accidentally became gigantic and got banished to the Land of Giants where we discovered that we were actually quite tiny, especially compared to the most gigantically gigantic knuckleheaded giant of them all?

Well, have I got a story for You!

Another amusing story my kids enjoyed.
Review of advance copy
What is You & Me and the Gigantic Knucklehead about?
Two friends reminisce about another action packed adventure they’ve had together, when they became giants but ended up in the Land of the Giants. These giants were MUCH bigger than them, loved donuts and had a very familiar looking leader.
Plot summary of You & Me and the Gigantic Knucklehead (No Spoilers)
After visiting the Knucklehead Quarters down the road for a cup of sugar for baking, they discover a wrecked home, no Jimmy or Johnny Knucklehead, and some green puddles.
Deciding jumping in the puddles might be fun, splashing each other with the green liquid results in them beginning to grow, and grow and GROW! Being giants is even more fun, but they create too much chaos in town and are soon shipped off to Land of the Giants.
Although giants themselves, they are tiny in this new place. The giants are all made of boulders and love stomping on things! The friends spend their time just staying alive and become slaves to the giant king. This is also a land of donuts, and this king likes a LOT of them.
Will the friends survive, ever get home, or want to eat a donut ever again?
Review
The third episode in the You & Me series, this book is jammed with hilarious illustrations and a completely Bonkers adventure. I laughed out loud at the antics of these adventure hungry friends who bite off way more they can chew – even if it involves a LOT of donuts!
This is probably my favourite book yet in the series. I love poring over Bill Hope’s illustrations and the tiny reactions in the backgrounds of many of his drawings.
This series is the perfect amount of text and pics for reluctant readers, anyone who loves to laugh out loud, or read something completely bonkers and brilliant fun at the same time.
Book Style
As with previous books in the series, one of the characters is reminding the other of an amazing adventure they’d had together. Also as before, this episode is highly illustrated with funny pics on every page.
