Synopsis: From the author's website: The 1970's was a time of a great upsurge in children's publishing, and everyone was trying easy readers. This little book--and its prequel THE GIANTS FARM--were both my entry into that particular genre. The five giants live on Fe-Fi-Fo-Farm which is what I wanted to call our farm when we first moved here. (We ended up naming it Phoenix Farm, but at the urging of my children, I used the other name in a book!) Tomie's pictures manage to look like--Tomie! But the characters are really a metaphoric Yolen-Stemple family. And boy, did we love to go camping--all over New England mainly, but also down into West Virginia where David's family still lived. This book was a Jr. Literary Guild selection.
