Hewitt's (The Kingdom of Nothing) playful sense of color, line, scale, and typography gives this work a flair reminiscent of midcentury graphic design . . The anti-bullying lesson is delivered with plenty of visual verve. * Publishers Weekly *
Hewitt's bold covers, special sight gags and appealingly retro, poster-art style are a winning match for this picture's timely message about a giant bully who threatens to stomp out all the "peaceful little people" in a "peaceful little place. * New York Times *
This quirky but straightforward story presents a playful, literal representation of what it means when a bully "steps all over" others, and the positive change a hand extended in friendship can inspire . . . A plainspoken tale of the relativity of size and power, this belongs on shelves. * School Library Journal *
Giant Giant by author/illustrator Dylan Hewitt is an original, fun and funny picture book story that shows both the negative effects of bullying and the importance of being kind. Thoroughly 'kid friendly' and with an important like skills message on the subject of bullies and bullying . . . * Midwest Book Review *
