What to expect
"Fee!" he said, and "Fi!" he said, and "Fo!" he said and "Fum!"
Look out children, the Giant of Jum is grumpy and hungry and he's off in search of a tasty snack. And the tastiest of all is a boy known as Jack! But Jack and his friends don't see a scary giant, they see a magically tall man - a man who can fetch lost balls and rescue cats from trees! Perhaps this hungry giant is softer than he seems...
An incredible rhyming text read aloud by actor Stephen Mangan, and a brilliant, big-hearted twist on a classic fairy tale, The Giant of Jum sees the launch of a major picture book pairing: the uniquely talented author and poet, Elli Woollard, and award-winning illustrator, Benji Davies.
Also contains an important message for all: don't eat kids, eat cake!
