Another orphan story. Sophie is scooped out of her bed by a friendly giant who survives by eating snozzcumbers (which make you burp), and joins him in stopping the other giants from eating kids. Giants and burping, the perfect combination!
I am sorry I didn't read this when I was a kid. I can tell a lot of the humor is lost on dull grown-up me, who cannot truly appreciate snozzcumbers. But so many kids have told me how much they love this book! The library where I work has had to replace copy after copy, as they get worn out by all the kids reading them. This is a classic.
