Bookroo's summary

Belbum, a forgetful giant, misplaces his only pair of pants. His quest to borrow pants from friends—a cyclops, a gnome, and a unicorn—proves futile. With no other choice, Belbum must bravely walk to the tailor in town wearing just his underwear. Will he find a solution to his giant-sized problem, or will he learn to embrace his predicament with humor and dignity? Join Belbum on this whimsical adventure of mishaps and self-acceptance.

From the publisher

Who hasn’t misplaced something important? Readers large and small will laugh knowingly along with this relatable (and rather giant) case of forgetfulness. Belbum is a giant. Like most giants, he is very good at stomping, napping, and losing things. One day he loses something especially important, though: his only pair of pants. After searching high and low, Belbum sets off to ask his friends whether they have any pants he can borrow. But the cyclops only wears tunics. The gnome’s pants, stretchy as they may be, are far too small for Belbum. And unicorns don’t even wear pants. There’s only one thing left for Belbum to do: walk to the tailor in town . . . in his underwear! From the author-illustrator of The Great Thanksgiving Escape comes an enchantingly silly tale about forgetting your things – and holding your head up high.
