This book is about a giant who could not be nice to others. Finally he leanred if he was nice to others, that they would return the favor and be nice to him! Very cute book about learning about kindness. ( )

British picture book, where smart means smart clothes, i.e., looking good. George was the scruffiest giant in town until he discovers a clothes shop and gets some smart clothes. But then as he goes proudly through town, he meets a string of animals who all have needs -- and George is able to satisfy those needs by donating his various bits of clothing. A giraffe gets his tie for a scarf, a goat gets his shirt for a sail, some mice get a shoe for a house, a fox gets a sock for a sleeping bag, and a dog gets his belt as bridge across a bog. But then poor George is the coldest giant in town as his trousers fall down. But he retrieves his old clothes making him the cosiest giant in town -- and then he receives a crown as a present from the grateful animals who declare him the kindest giant in town. ( )
