The Smartest Giant in Town

Julia Donaldson

Axel Scheffler

George didn’t like being the scruffiest giant in town, so when he sees a new shop selling giant-size clothes he decides it’s time to update his image. With smart trousers, a smart shirt, stripy tie and shiny shoes, George is a new giant. But on his way home, he meets various animals who desperately need his help…and his clothes! Now in sturdy board book format, all children will love this funny and warm-hearted tale.
