Giants Beware!

204 pp. | Roaring Brook/First Second | April, 2012 | Paper ISBN 978-1-59643-582-7 $14.99
(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Rafael Rosado. Color by John Novak and Matthew Schenk. This winning graphic novel mixes appealing fairy-tale plots with unconventional solutions. Tiny but tough and feistily redheaded, Claudette sets out to kill the rumored local giant. While her quest is straightforward, the lessons learned along the way are suitably complex for older-elementary kids. With bright colors and a simple, caricature-heavy art style, the book reflects animators Aguirre and Rosado's honed skills.
