- Book Synopsis
- ** Winner of the Children's Book Award - Gold ** ** Runner-up for the Smarties Prize ** 'Simple but ingenious' Sunday Telegraph Shhh! You are about to enter a giant's castle. Be very quiet. Can you get through the book without waking up the enormous scary giant? What will you do if he wakes up? Why shut the book of course! An interactive retelling of a classic fairy tale with flaps and peepholes that will keep children hooked! From the bestselling, award-winning author Sally Grindley, this is the perfect book for reading aloud and sharing together. Adored by children around the world for nearly 30 years! 'This book is FANTASTIC for storytime with a group of children. It's great to read it with inflection, pretending to be scared of the giant and telling the kids to SHHH!' Goodreads reviewer 'With its understated text and imaginative artwork, this unusual work draws readers into story and setting in a way that few picture books can' Publishers Weekly 'I have worked in a pre-school for 24 years and this is by far their favourite book. The children sit there quietly and as you read the book they are hooked!' Amazon reviewer
