Product Description:
When George the giant spies a shop full of wonderful clothes, he decides to treat himself to a new outfit. He puts on his new shirt, pants, shoes, and tie, and is immediately transformed from the scruffiest giant in town to the spiffiest giant in town. But on his way home, George runs into various animals who need his help. And little by little, George finds himself giving away all his new purchases.
From the creators of Room on the Broom, this is a lively tale that reminds readers that sometimes it's what's inside a person-or a giant-that matters most.

Julia Donaldson writes incredibly engaging books for children with a lovely line in humour for adults. The illustrator, Axel, is my favourite illustrator for her works, he seems to bring a quirky but rich naivety to her lovely stories. And this is a lovely story.
It is of a giant who is the worst dressed in town so he goes to buy himself some spiffy clothes. As he leaves town he meets all these people and animals who have nothing - or have been hard done by, he gives them something of ... Read More

If the Gruffalo is one of my favorite books to read to my kids...
And The Gruffalo's Child is a tick lower than that...
And Room on the Broom is not quite as much fun as The Gruffalo's Child... then I have to say that "The Spiffiest Giant in Town" is a notch lower than all of them.
It's a simple little morality tale, well illustrated, but it doesn't have the wordplay and wit of the Gruffalo books.

We originally bought The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson in London for our first child several years ago, and now own practically every book she has written. Most of the stories have some sort of moral to them but not in your face or preachy. They are fun and entertaining and even my husband and I do not mind reading them over and over again.

I am an absolute Julia Donaldson fan and own almost all her stories. This one as well as probably her most famous story (The Gruffalo), must rate as some of the best children stories available. Snail & the Whale, Room on the Broom is must-buys as well. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Author Julia Donaldson acquired a faithful following of British readers when years ago she first penned her masterpiece, ?The Gruffalo?. Unfortunately, America has yet to recognize this work formally and despite her numerous awards, Ms. Donaldson has not yet reached household name status in the States quite yet. I decided to introduce myself to her work by reading a book that, to my mind, embodies silliness and morality twofold. ?The Spiffiest Giant in Town? is, to be brief, about a spiffy giant. ...
