This is a story told before it was written. It came out of a bedtime routine that began with reading our children a traditional story or fairy tale. One evening they asked for a new story, something just for them. Of course in the clear logic of children, if we could make up a story one night, we could do it every night. So from the age of three and a half until sometime in elementary school it became a daily challenge for either my wife or me to create a short tale to entertain them after reading time. TheThree Giants was one of those. Originally created and told over several nights to fulfill a daily obligation for which I will ever be grateful.

For a boy to whom baseball is everything, the creation of a new little league felt like a dream come true. Then he found out his team had one too many players. After nervously joining an opposing team from a neighborhood worlds apart from his own, he learns an important lesson about the true meaning of victory and the value of teamwork. Adapted from a story my father shared with me about his own little league adventures.

After finding a huge tooth on the docks, English explorer Archibald Leopold Ruthmore sets out to seek the race of giants to whom the tooth belongs and discovers nine giants, the survivors of a singularly gentle and kindly race. He lives among them for ten months, and on returning home he makes a mistake that he regrets forever―he writes a book revealing their existence and location.

The tale of a lost race of giants and what happens when their existence, and their location, becomes known by the outside world. After finding a huge tooth on the docks, English explorer Archibald Leopold Ruthmore sets out to seek the race of giants to whom the tooth belongs and discovers nine giants, the survivors of a singularly gentle and kindly race. He lives among them for ten months, and on returning home he makes a mistake that he regrets forever―he writes a book revealing their existence and location. School Library Journal said, “Part fable, part fantasy, and part morality tale, this unusual French import takes the form of a 19th-century explorer’s journal, illustrated with intricate watercolors… The powerful and thought-provoking messages require reflection and may be used to spark lively discussions.”

I remembered Mama had said there were giants, strong and tall, and that one was looking after me. I needed to see one, to believe. A young girl, grieving the loss of her mother, strives to find the giant that her mother promised would look after her. But there are no such things as giants-not real giants . . . or are there? She wants so desperately to believe that it seems as if she's always just missed one. Can she dream her larger-than-life guardian into reality? While she dreams, life on the farm with her father goes on. With lyrical prose her story unfolds-the seasons change, crops are planted, summer turns to fall, and the harvest is brought in. Throughout, one constant remains. The young girl does have a giant looking out for her. He's been with her all along.

Luc doesn't like to fight. He wins his matches anyway. Men always turn out to see the Boy Giant box—he's taller and stronger than anyone else at the Woodrat Club. Luc takes part to help Mr. Chilton, the man who brought him to New York. When a fast-talking stranger brings a kangaroo to the club, the Woodrat gains another attraction. The kangaroo boxing makes Luc queasy. But Mr. Chilton befriends the kangaroo owner. Soon Luc is torn between loyalty and his conscience. And if he makes a move, the kangaroo's mysterious trainer is ready to cut him down to size.

When twin giants set out in search of happiness, the result is a comedy of errors that is doubly clever and enormously funny."Isn’t he e-nor-mous!" says the giant father when his first twin son is born. "There’s a-lot-uv-’im!" notes the giant mother when the second twin boy arrives. And as Normus (a vegetarian) and Lottavim (a carnivore) grow and grow, the two are hugely happy — playing Roll the Boulder, singing badly, and doing everything together. But when the day comes for the hulking lads to seek the giantesses of their dreams, will going their separate ways only lead them into double trouble?
