Giant Books is a brand-new series that consists of six picture books for children between 2 and 4 year. This series of animal stories is written by Luk Depondt and illustrated by Marjolein Pottie. The main characters in each story are Hippo and Dilly. Hippo is small hippopotamus and Dilly is a cute crocodilly.

The series is built around six basic needs in life. These needs play a crucial part in the development of children (and adults!). Each picture book deals with a  pecific need. Hippo and Dilly are close friends. Hippo likes to be hugged, he is thirsty, he likes to be involved, once in while he likes to climb a tree too. Dilly is not always aware of what Hippo loves and likes. And this is what gives Hippo a bad feeling. But, finally, Dilly always shows he self to be a giant(ess) friend!
