Book Reviews of The Spiffiest Giant in Town
Book Review: Fine, but not as good other Julia Donaldson books I've read to my kids
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
Summary of The Spiffiest Giant in Town
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.
