Illustrated by
Ruth Ohi.
On the way to his grandmother's house, a young boy and his goat come upon four strange items and a very unhappy baby giant. By using the four found objects, the boy transforms tears to smiles, and the three creatures fall asleep together. A large-size foldout shows the baby giant's mother with her child, surprised that "two so small" could help. The full-bleed illustrations look dated but capably portray the world of giants.
