Reissue (1964, Harper)
(2) K-3 When the fairies play their magic music, benevolent, not-overly-bright giant John can't stop dancing. His mother sends him off into the world to earn money, and he's happy working for a king and queen--until his fairy friends show up. Lobel packs the two-color illustrations with wonderful details. The good humor throughout ensures a satisfyingly happy ending.
Reviewer: Terri Schmitz | Horn Book Magazine Issue: October, 1964
