Fearing, M. (2017). Giant pants. Massachusetts: Candlewick Press.
Overview: Belbum is a giant. He is prone to losing things. One day he lost his pants. He looked all over the whole house but could not find them. He becomes angry. Then he has an idea to go ask his friends if they have seen his pants. Each friend had not seen his pants but they offer him a pair of their pants. Of course their pants don’t quite fit. He becomes upset each time his friend’s ask him if he searched his room. Eventually he makes it to town and the tailor makes him several pairs of pants. When he gets home you will never guess where he finds his old pair of pants. I like the illustrations throughout this book they are humorous and add to the story. The text is enlarged throughout the story to express emotion. I also like the map that is in the front and back cover of the book of his walk through the forest to town. The map is detailed and easy to read. Even younger non-readers can explain the map using the pictures.
