John is a friendly giant who lives among musical fairies. But the time comes when he must venture out into the world to get a job. Soon, he befriends a king and queen who ask him to stay and work for their family. Through his adventures, Giant John learns what it means to care about people and for them to care about him.This heart-warming tale of friendship is as fresh today as it was when originally published in 1964. The child-friendly illustrations, complete with the detailed, crosshatching lines, reveal Arnold Lobel’s great talent as an artist and, most of all, as a storyteller.

“看！看！”国王和王后还有公主以及狗一起叫喊着：“来了一个大巨人！”是的，大巨人约翰正在找工作，而留在城堡帮忙，似乎非常理想──直到小精灵想念他们的大朋友，一边演奏他们的魔奇音乐，一边像云一般的涌过来。大巨人约翰如往常一样，只要听到那音乐，就会一直跳舞，停不下来。不过，在森林里跳舞是一回事，在城堡上跳舞却是另外一回事……艾诺.洛贝尔的图和文，就如同小精灵演奏的魔幻音乐，让人十分愉快。《巨人约翰》会是小读者们非常喜爱的一则故事！
