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.
