Martin Waddell, Penny Dale
Once there was a baby in the house – and to that baby, Mum and Dad and Jill and John and Uncle Tom were giants. But little by little, that baby grew up – until she became a giant too. This book explores the stages of life and development.

I like the bit where they get married and mum cries and dad has his beer on his head!

This book was amazing. It was about giants.

I love this book especially at bedtime. It's a great bedtime story. I love how the baby grows up to be a giant herself.

It was a book about a life from when a girl was a baby to when she has a girl of her own.

The book was about when there were giants and in the book the bad thing is when dad was a dragon in the story and he scared Jill John and uncle Tom and when dad was a dragon he roared.The good thing about the story of the giants was when mum and dad and Jill and John and uncle Tom had a race when they finished in the seaside. The funny bit was when I saw a girl's bottom in the duckpond and the girl's dad helped her get out the duckpond.

It was very very good. It was a story about growing up.

This is a fiction story; it's a little bit nice but I'd like more action in it.

This book was fiction and was about a baby growing up and how her parents were giants when she was little, and how she grew up to become a giant too. I loved reading this book with my Mummy

This is my favourite short book, I have enjoyed it many times before. My favourite part is when the main character (who's name you never find out!) Is still a baby and she is throwing her porridge. I like that all the family lives together, it makes me feel like they are close and share moments together.
