The Sleeping Giant

This is a wonderful children's book that is read every night in my house. After visiting County Kerry in Ireland we fell in love with the island they call the Sleeping Giant. When we found this book we were estatic. Now everynight our trip to Ireland is relived by reading this book. My son was 2 years old when we were in Ireland and now at 4.5 years old he still remembers our entire trip thanks to this book. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves reading great stories to children.
