Premise/plot: There are five chapters in this early chapter book. It is newly reprinted in 2023--it was originally published in the late 1970s. In the first story, the Giants build a farm. In the second and third stories, a birthday is celebrated. In the fourth story, Grizzle is grumpy and needs some cheering up. In the fifth story, Dab is out of sorts until she finds a new hobby--writing.
My thoughts: I liked it fine. It didn't wow me. But I certainly have enjoyed some of Jane Yolen's works...and I've definitely enjoyed some of Tomie dePaola's works. I was not familiar with this one. I am glad I read it. I wonder if I had read it growing up if I'd be enthusiastic about it being reprinted? Maybe. I am glad to see that there are publishers willing to reprint old(er) books. I hate that the life of a book is so short--usually. ( )
