Are Giants Friendly or Mean?

We are currently working on a fairy tale theme.  We made a chart of what we know about giants and realized upon reading all our entries that we thought giants were mean and scary.  The question came up:  "Are all giants mean?"  We went straight to the smart board and googled for friendly giants.  We found our answer and the Grade 1J's fell in love with The Friendly Giant and have asked me to link this for them.  When watching the opening of the program, we also noticed that it falls in line with our mapping unit.  I will read parts of the book by Roald Dahl, The BFG, to them as this was the book the CBC tv show was based on.   The links are:

Friendly Giant (winter scene opening)

Friendly Giant (fall scene opening)
