Giants!
By Mij Kelly and Nick Maland
Hodder 30 pages, £10.99
FT bookshop price: £8.79

In Giants!, Boogaloo and Sweet Pea wander through a forest and chat about giants. Boogaloo maintains that they are revolting creatures who eat people and have no feelings – at least, he does until the gentle giant who has been following them blubs at this stereotyping. Giants, it turns out, are not so different from us after all – a twist that will give three-to-five-year-olds something to ponder. Maland’s distinctive illustrations are a treat, too.
