THE LITTLE GIANT GIRL AND THE ELF BOY

by Else Holmelund Minarik

Pub Date: Oct. 23rd, 1963
Publisher: Harper & Row

A brief encounter between a little giant girl and an elf boy, both sent to ather flowers by their respective mothers, ends with a sigh and the uninspired words "we can't all be the same size". Full color pictures on every other page have an old fashioned flavor; they are flat and set, lacking in spark. All sugar and a little water; a let-down from Minarik.
