This rip-roaring, read-aloud delight follows a giant's toilet roll as it goes on a crazy journey through town, leaving havoc in its wake. What will the townsfolk do with all the enormous sheets of paper? They could build a paper plane, or make 100s of pairs of pants. . . But will there be any paper left for the giant in his time of need? |
“A giant's toilet roll one day, Fell to the floor and flew away. [...] It rolls down the hill with a thumpety-thump! This rolling roll, going who knows where, This ribbon of sheets, each ten foot square.”
