I'm a newbie at all this and hope this is the right group to post to.

I remember a large picture book (must have been the early to mid 70s) featuring
little island kingdoms and giants wading in the seas between them. The
noteworthy thing about this book was the illustrations...I believe it had a
vibrant watercolor look...colors would spread beyond outlines...and there was a
lot of detail on the tiny island kingdoms.

Sorry about the lack of info...please let me know if this is not the appropriate
forum.

This is a real long shot, but possibly Giants Come in Different Sizes by
Jolly Roger Bradfield. Haven't seen a copy in a while, but I am fairly
certain it was something about Giants and islands and his illustrative style
involves vibrant watercolors.

Yes I remember the book. The island had volcanoes going off & giants with big
clubs. It was about fighting & angry feelings as I recollect.
I think it was illustrated by (& possibly written by) William STEIG--
Abel's Island
might be it
