Features: This book is one of the humorous stories in "The World of Fairy Tales." Little girl Sophie was "abducted" by a giant—don't worry, she met a kind-hearted giant. He put Sophie in his huge ear, like a large fan, and flew back to the giant's kingdom. They experienced a series of adventures and finally defeated the evil giant who ate children ("The Benevolent Giant"). In early fairy tales, giants were always cruel. With a huge mouth, they could eat anything—a whole roasted lamb could be swallowed in one bite. If little readers encountered such a giant, what would they do? Stay brave and think, and you'll find that giants aren't that scary! In fairy tales, it's common to see clever people use wisdom to defeat fierce giants. "An Old Man Known as 'Wind-Blown Grass'" and "Outwitting the One-Eyed Giant" are countless examples. It seems that God is fair—he gave giants enormous bodies but also foolish heads, while "humans," though small, possess an unbeatable weapon: wisdom. However, in modern times, giants have gradually become lovable. "Giant Totoomi" and "The Shadow-Eating Giant" show giants playing like children. Would little readers be happy to make friends with such giants? Come on, open this book!
