The Smartest Giant in Town is a warm, rhyming picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. The story follows George, the scruffiest giant in town, who decides to buy new clothes to become the smartest. However, as he journeys home, he encounters various animals in need (a giraffe with a cold, a mouse whose house has burned down). George, being kind-hearted, gives away his clothes to help them. The book is a beautiful, funny story that champions generosity and kindness, proving that being kind is far more important than being stylish.
