Look insideThe Smartest Giant in Town
Classic Julia and Axel, now with a shiny foiled cover! 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 a mess. So he goes shopping and kits himself out with a new outfit. He has 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 need his help – and soon he’s 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!
