When he gets his new clothes and helps everyone

This was a good book to read, he gave away all his belongings to make others happy. The animals the giant helped were kind back to him.

I like this book a lot.
The smartest giant was very generous and kind.
I enjoyed reading it because I liked it when the pants fell down, it made me laugh and the animals were nice.

I love this book - I always have it at my nannas house at bedtime. I know it off by heart! My favourite bit is when George hasn’t got any clothes on!

The book is fiction. My favorite character is the Giant because he helps everyone. My favorite part of the book was when the mice house got burnt down. I would recommend the book to someone else.

It was a good book because there was a giant called George and he was the scruffiest giant in town, then he was the smartest giant in town. He was very kind to other animals and gave his clothes to them.

I recommend this book as a good example to people of how to be kind and helpful.

It is about a giant. His name is George. He takes his clothes off and puts them in the shop because he wants some new clothes. I like it because his trousers fall down. George is a good guy.

I like the repetition of parts of this book and the story is easy to follow along with. George is a nice guy!

I thought this book was very nice because the giant helped all the other animals and the animals were a giraffe, a goat, a mouse, a fox and a dog. After the giant helped all the animals by giving them his clothes he was then a cold giant so he walked all the way back to the store to buy new clothes but it was closed but he found his old clothes which were his gown and shoes and he was happy.
