«The Smartest Giant in Town» is the picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler in paperback with audio CD (32 pages, in English).
George is fed up with being the scruffiest giant in town. When he finds a shop with clothes his size, he buys a smart outfit. On his way home, several animals in trouble ask for his help, and George gives them his new clothes one by one, until he discovers that being the kindest in town means being generous.
The 2006 English edition, published by Macmillan Audio Books, with illustrations by Axel Scheffler, includes a 30-minute audio CD narrated by Imelda Staunton, Jim Carter and Steven Pacey.
For children aged 2 to 6, especially those who enjoy picture books and stories about generosity and friendship.
Dame Julia Catherine Donaldson is a British writer and playwright, and the 2011–2013 Children's Laureate. She is best known for her popular rhyming stories for children, especially those illustrated by Axel Scheffler, which include The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom, Stick Man, and Superworm. She originally wrote songs for children's television but has concentrated on writing books since the words of one of her songs, "A Squash and a Squeeze", were made into a children's book in 1993. Of her 184 published works, 64 are widely available in bookshops. The remaining 120 are intended for school use and include her Songbirds phonic reading scheme, which is part of the Oxford University Press's Oxford Reading Tree. In January 2025, Donaldson became Britain's best-selling author, surpassing J.K. Rowling by some 600,000 sales.
