Joseph, The Good Giant by Stjepan Varesevac Cobets
I read this for my child as bedtime story and ended up 💕loving it❤ just as much as he did! 😊
Yes! I'm 40 but so what?! None of us are ever too old for fairy tales if you ask me!! :D
Joseph the Good Giant had my little one enthralled from the very first page with his gentleness and kindness and the way he used his pretty cool magic ring. :))
Despite my little one's warnings to heed the unexpected visitor that suddenly shows up on Joseph's doorstep; the good giant is way too trustworthy, falls into the magic wizard's trap and has his powerful magic ring stolen.
Determined to get his lost treasure back, Joseph sets off on a quest to find the wicked wizard, using a magic staff to help him find his way. And on his adventure, he meets fantastical creatures and makes unexpected friends; braves great dangers and fights magic battles; and even gets to stand his ground in front of a fierce dragon!
And here is where the strength of the story lies. In the fabulous magical creatures that Joseph meets in his adventure, but also in the masterfully embedded underlying message of the tale itself. That being kind is always better than being wicked and mean; and that it's always better to stand your ground and brave your fears, when your first thought would be to run and hide.
A beautiful fairytale that I highly recommend to all little adventurers out there!
Dream, brave and dare!
And above all, always remember...
...to only do good!!
Happy reading! 💕😊❤
