Once while walking on the pier, the British explorer Archibald bought a huge carved tooth with a strange pattern - it was a "giant's tooth"! The decoration above turned out to be a miniature map, depicting the legendary "Giant Kingdom" located at the source of the Blackwater River. From this, he embarked on an adventurous journey to find the legendary country.
A picture book story about a tiny human being and nine giants who dream of stars. It shows the exchanges and conflicts of civilizations, the establishment and destruction of emotions, and the subtlety and complexity of human nature, which makes people feel sad and thought-provoking.
Reader comments
This book is very suitable for children to read, and the adventure stories are always full of attraction. The giant teeth and miniature maps in the book reminded me of "Gulliver's Travels", which is also a fantasy about giants, and the latter is full of satire on society. And this book also made me think, does the communication between humans and giants require more understanding and patience like our communication with children? "This is not a product carved from mediocre sperm whale teeth, but a 'giant's tooth'!" This sentence is really impressive.
It's short, lively, and a little sad. Is human civilization worth being proud of?
