(Daniel Parish) The Five Giants Produced by The Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive/American Libraries.) "The Five Giants" by Daniel P. Kidder is a children's educational book published in the mid-19th century. The book utilizes allegory to introduce young readers to the mighty forces of nature that are personified as five giants: Fire, Water, Wind, Gunpowder, and Steam. Through a whimsical narrative approach, it aims to impart important lessons regarding the powerful and sometimes destructive influence of these elemental forces while encouraging respect and understanding of their roles in human life. In this engaging tale, Kidder depicts each giant with distinct personalities and behaviors that reflect the characteristics of the natural elements they represent. Flare symbolizes fire, known for its warmth and cooking abilities, yet also its potential for destruction. Roar represents water with its dual nature of nurturing life and causing chaos. Blow embodies wind, playful but unpredictable. Bounce personifies gunpowder, illustrating its use in fireworks and warfare, while Rush represents steam, recognized for its industrious potential. Throughout the narrative, Kidder emphasizes the great influence these giants—or natural forces—have over mankind, urging readers to acknowledge both their benefits and perils, ultimately reminding them of the higher power that governs these forces.
