My Book The Big Friendly Giant

• Terrance the giant lived in the forests of
  Neverwood (SETTING). He loved to eat fruit from
  the placknut tree, where he could eat until he
  was hungry.
• Eventually he eats to much and the placknut tree
  doesnt grow back. Terrance has to grow trees to
  make his own fruit (CLIMAX).
• The Smurphies (who are smaller people) show
  Terrance how to grow food in order to survive
  (SOLUTION). The Smurphies and Terrance didnt get
  along right away, because they were scared of
  Terrance.
• Later they find out he is a friendly giant, not
  an evil one (CONCLUSION).
• This showed me that even though we are all
  different we can work together to solve our
  problems. (THEME)
