Another make believe story, the kind children and many adults will enjoy, displays the du Bois imagination to advantage again. In a European city that could be Paris, the author, the "I" of the story, notices a huge construction across the street from his small apartment and receives a threatening letter from El Muchacho y Cia telling him to move. He learns from the executive secretary of the company who explains discreetly that "El Muchacho" is an eight year old giant from Argentina - a real giant of a giant whose body has grown in direct proportion to the amount of food he eats. But as his character unfolds - and with it all the implications of being a giant, a young giant at that - El Muchacho turns out to be less of a terror than a charmer who sets the whole city dancing. - Kirkus Reviews
