Summary: This book tells the story about George who feels like the scruffiest giant in town. He decides to buy some new clothes like smart trousers, a smart shirt, shiny shoes and son on. Now he feels like the smartest giant in town. But, on his way, he bumps into different animals who need help: a giraffe who needs a warm scarf, a goat who is in need of a new sail for his boat, a fox who needs a sleeping bag …… So, George starts giving away his new clothes, and, finally, he is left with his trousers only. In a bag outside the shop, he finds his old scruffy gown and sandals which he puts on and he cries out that “I’m the coziest giant in town”. However, all the animals are waiting for him outside his house with a present. The illustrations are attractive and colourful.
