«Once There Were Giants» is the children's picture book by Martin Waddell, illustrated by Penny Dale, published by Walker Books Ltd in hardcover (32 pages, in English).
A tender story about the passage of time from a baby's perspective: mom, dad, Jill, John and Uncle Tom are giants in their eyes, and gradually that baby grows up to become a giant too. The story reflects the experience of living in a world designed for big people and helps understand the idea of growing up.
The work was originally published in 1989; this edition is from 2001. The book includes full-color illustrations and is cataloged as children's and young adult literature.
For young children and early readers, and for those seeking stories that reflect the child's point of view on the adult world.
Martin Waddell is a writer of children's books from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He may be known best for his picture book texts featuring anthropomorphic animals, especially the Little Bear series illustrated by Barbara Firth.
