Description
"Giant Umplepum" is a collection of ten illustrated short stories, written for children aged between four and six and features a loveable but somewhat accident-prone giant. Umplepum is kind and generous and loves to help the villagers - he mends their roofs and rescues their pets but - there is no getting away from it - Umplepum is just far too big for comfort! In the course of his adventures, Umplepum takes a trip to the seaside, hunts down a vegetable thief and celebrates Christmas, Easter and Halloween. But can the villagers find a way to cope with Umplepum and his enormous bulk? The stories are fun, easy to read, and full of educational opportunities for parents to share with their children. These touching little tales are also very funny, making the "Giant Umplepum" collection a sure hit with children and adults alike. Parents will be asked to read these stories with their children over and over and over again!
