Mrs. McCool and the Giant Cuhullin: An Irish Tale

32 pp. | Holt | February, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-6852-X $$16.95
(1) K-3 Irish folk-hero Finn McCool hides behind his clever wife in this teasing tale of two cowardly giants. When Finn sucks his magic thumb, he can see fierce Cuhullin, who has his own magic finger, coming after him. Finn runs home to his wife, who hatches a plan to fool Cuhullin and deprive him of his magic finger. Both the light, playful text and vividly colored art are well matched to the comic tale. A well-made source note is appended.
