I like this book as it shows that kindness is always the way and more expensive does not mean better, as long as you are happy that is what counts!

I enjoyed reading this book to year 1 children. The theme of kindness really shines through. The illustrations are fun, and full of charm. I felt happy and hopeful after reading the story. This book is suitable for children aged 3-7 years.

My favourite character was the giant because he’s big and he was very kind. I liked that he is a giant but the people he helped were little. It was nice that they threw a party for the giant in the end to say thanks.

I liked the rhymes in this book. He bought new clothes but took them off and gave them to lots of animals to help them. He gave the goat his shirt because the goat had lost his sail.
