Product Description
by Jane Yolen (Author), Paolo Domeniconi (Illustrator)
The old giant at the top of the hill is lonely. He has no one to play games with, no one to read to, and no one to drink tea with. When he ventures into the nearby town, every person and animal screams and hides--except for one girl, Arabella. The two become quick friends and spend the day playing together. But will the giant ever get his cup of tea?
