The Smartest Giant in Town

by Julia Donaldson

Ages 3–6 Reading age 5 Picture book Set in everyday life gentlerhyming

George buys himself smart new clothes, then gives every item away to animals who need them more, and ends up back in his old sandals and scruffy gown.

A story about animals and magical creatures, gentle and rhyming in tone. We would put it with children of 3–6, and at a reading age of about 5 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
