A fun romp\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

High energy, punchy sentences, and wit mark Isac\u2019s charming picture book, a tale about a young shepherd boy taking on a cruel giant. In the valleys of England, a menacing giant and his one-eyed ram are disrupting locals\u2019 lives by stealing their livestock. When they kidnap a pair of shepherd brothers, the youngest brother, Jonny, knows he must devise a plan to rescue his brothers. After the giant is defeated, the brothers return with the giant\u2019s rams, but the king wants the animals for himself. What will Jonny do? There\u2019s an easygoing, reassuring rhythm to Isac\u2019s storytelling, and the brisk narrative infused with a meaningful emotional arc keeps the reader engaged. The clearly wrought characters, including the one-eyed ram easily capture readers\u2019 hearts while Savin\u2019s vividly drawn, brightly colored illustrations warm the accessible text. This charming book about family bonds, bravery, and keeping one\u2019s wits in the face of difficult circumstances is a must-have for young readers\u2019 bookshelves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
