‘The Grumpy Giant Who Lived On The Hill!’ starts and ends out with easy to understand quotes from famous people. Everyone is afraid and runs when they see the grumpy giant. Why? Will he get over his grumpiness?

This rhyming picture book is a gentle and sweet story that teaches children an important life lesson. The illustrations are beautifully done in bright colours. They bring the grumpy giant to life and also help to tell us his story.

I award ‘The Grumpy Giant Who Lived On The Hill!’ 5 stars.

This delightful story has a beautiful ending that encourages the young reader to think about how they judge others. Easy to read, with enchanting illustrations, it will appeal to emerging readers. It is also a brilliant book for adults to read to young children, as a springboard for discussion. I’m sure many people will know someone, like the giant, in their lives. I would highly recommend this wonderful book.
