Bookroo's summary
Julie is curious about her new neighbors, especially when she notices their enormous belongings. Meeting David, a seemingly normal boy, eases her fears until his father's booming call sends her into a panic. Could David's father truly be a giant? Julie must confront her fears and uncover the truth in this whimsical tale of unexpected surprises and courage.
From the publisher
Julie thinks her new neighbors must be very scary because all the stuff being moved into their house is enormous. Then she meets David and finds out that he’s just a normal, regular boy. But when David’s father calls him for supper the sound makes Julie jump in the air, run in a circle three times, run home and lock herself in her room until it is time for breakfast the next day. Could David’s father be a giant? A newly designed Classic Munsch picture book introduces this tall tale about facing your fears to a new generation of young readers.
