Look insideThe Smartest Giant in Town (15th Anniversary Edition)
Classic Julia and Axel, now with a shiny cover and new extras! When a kind giant gives his clothes away, will it turn out to be a smart move? George is the scruffiest giant in town. He’s fed up of looking such a mess. So he goes shopping and kits himself out with a smart new outfit: new trousers, a shirt, a stripy tie and shiny black shoes. Now George is the smartest giant in town! But on his way home, he meets lots of poor animals who really need his help. Soon George has given all his new clothes away. Is George the daftest giant in town? Nope: he’s the KINDEST giant in town – and the animals want him to know it!
