The Spiffiest Giant in Town

There's something about the illustrations that is just so unique and I love it. Such a sweet bedtime story with a bit of rhyme.

George was a giant, the scruffiest giant in town...until he decided to make a change. He's exceptionally proud of his new look but as he goes through his day, he finds there's alot of animals who need his help! George quickly realises that he can fix all their problems... but at a cost! This books is one of the many Donaldson books we own and they are all extremely fun to read for adults and kids alike! I love the illustrations and all the animal characters we meet along George's journey! Also love George's kind ways!

This was and still is one of our family's favorite books of all time. It is a sweet story of being kind and selfless to strangers. Sometimes you can give everything, even the clothes off of your back to others who need it more than you do. However, it also addresses how one must be appreciative and grateful to that person who made the kind gesture and how that makes the giver feel. My kids are now 12 (son) and 14 (daughter) and are supposedly "too cool", but they still humor me when I ask them if they'd like to read "baby books" when they know I just want to snuggle. This is always one of the books they choose :)

My grandchild loved this series of books

Great book. It arrived with this white powder in all of the pages though.

Very cute book!

This is perhaps our favorite book! My kids love it, and there are so many fun voices (and singing) you can do to make it a great read. We love Julia Donaldson books!

My kids love Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. Like, everything they do, my kids can't get enough of. They love the short little movies of their work, they love the illustration style and all the silly little elements Mr. Scheffler sneaks in. They love the story lines, the rhythm. And this book they maybe like most of all. Maybe it's because I made up a tune to sing when the giant is singing his little song? But regardless, this book is a hit at our house. I like it, because I feel like it aides me in teaching them the importance of sharing and generosity, as well as the idea that material items aren't the most important things in life. It's a lofty concept for toddlers. But it's a good launching point.
