The Spiffiest Giant in Town

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Axel Scheffler. When George, a scruffy giant, buys new clothes, he is delighted with his spiffy appearance. On his way home, he meets a variety of needy animals, and one by one, he gives away his new things, until he ends up with his old outfit again. This lighthearted lesson in kindness is accompanied by lively mixed-media illustrations filled with whimsical details.
