For any kid who has heard “Get outside and play,” and for any parent who has said it. I can’t believe Mom made me stop my video game to get some fresh air. Stupid outside. At least the guys are here. Their moms made them come outside, too. That shouldn’t be too hard. Maybe I’ll finally get lucky. It’ll fall any second.- Like O’Malley’s acclaimed Straight to the Pole, this book is pithy and funny, perfect for readers of all levels and ages.- The topic—playing video games versus playing outdoors— is explored in a way that is satisfying to both parents and children.- Once again, O’Malley showcases his knack for relating to modern kids, and his new illustration style will win over more readers to his fan club.- With an intuitive understanding of young boys’ psyches, O’Malley has created an ideal book for dads and sons to enjoy together

Those colossal lies about "evil" giants are all just a gigantic misunderstanding. You've heard all the stories of mean and bloodthirsty giants: David and Goliath, Jack and the Beanstalk, Gilgamesh. Imagine you found an unconscious giant on the shores of your tiny ravaged village―what would you do? Walter the Giant Storyteller is that unlucky giant, shipwrecked by a violent storm at sea. He awakens to find himself tied down and on trial for his life. He knows he's a good giant, but that doesn't seem to matter to the mob of tiny people holding him captive and responsible for the crimes of all evil giants in history. He has to use his best storytelling skills to convince the crowd that good giants do exist―because if he doesn't, he'll become a giant of legend himself. In this tour de force of storytelling and illustration, Mayes and O'Malley turn the giant genre on its ear.
