Giant All leans on other words because he is lazy. Giant All really is a lazy old giant. If he can find another word to lean on while he eats, he will. Being so tall he just reaches over, pulls up a word, and leans right back on it. When Giant All is leaning on a word you will only see one of his legs because the second one is just behind the other. But don’t let that fool you. It is still Giant All. Most of all, Giant All likes to lean on the words most, so and ways. His next favourite words are ready and though.
Activity ideas Display
Help the children to create a Lazy Giant display featuring Giant All leaning on words. Later you could add on Giant Full as well, as suggested on page 71.
