The Smartest Giant in Town
Description
A funny, big-hearted tale about kindness and friendship, The Smartest Giant in Town is a bestselling classic from the unparalleled picture book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, creators of The Gruffalo.
George the giant is very proud of his smart new outfit . . . until he bumps into some animals who desperately need his help – and his clothes! – and he realises that a kind heart is more important than looking smart.
This classic story is a must-have addition to the bookshelves of all Donaldson and Scheffler fans – big and small!
