I'm Kim, and I love stories.

Hello super great kids and how are you?

I'm very happy because I've been practicing songs to sing for our summer show and singing always makes me happy.

And we have a story about a giant this week and for some reason I really like giants.

Maybe that's because I'm not very tall.

It's a Viking story today, a Norse myth from Northern Europe about a competition between

Red Bearded Thor, the Thunder God, and a gin gin enormous stone giant.

In their frightening world, the gods and giants often compete with each other.

And in this story, Thor travels to the land of the giants to ask a favour from a giant far taller than himself.

Thor is one brave god. Maybe that's why they call him the God of Thunder.

The storyteller is the talented Jason Buck, who creates the genius voice of the devil in the luck child and all those funny

voices and animal sounds in the old woman and her pig.

Jason actually looks a bit like a Viking. He's as tall as I am small, so just

imagine the sort of booming voice he's going to give the stone giant. This story is a smidge scary but not fairy, so find a grown

up whose hand you can hold and enjoy. Oh and just before we hear from Jason I've got a question for you.

How many stories can you think of which have giants in them?

It might be a bit tricky so I'll give you some clues. Well there's

an Irish giant and there's a giant from the Caribbean who's got two heads.

And there's a giant from England who owns a chicken which lays golden eggs.
