Reception


A brief review of Where the Giant Sleeps in The New York Times wrote: "A dreamlike landscape - houses, trees, hills and pastures - makes the form of a sleeping giant. Small readers will enjoy putting the details together, and Radunsky's gouache illustrations seem to glow with starlight". Kirkus Reviews wrote: "Casting dim moonlight over drowsy forms made with cloudy edges and soft colors, the artist expertly captures the poem’s tone and makes the slide down into dreamland well-nigh inevitable".
Where the Giant Sleeps has also been reviewed by the following publications: Publishers Weekly, Booklist, School Library Journal, Horn Book Guides, Library Media Connection, Magpies, and The Center for Children’s Literature.
