A humorous rhyming story focusing on outdoor play, teambuilding and friendship. With the opportunity to sing along at the end it is the perfect book for story time sessions.

A fun story of friendship, sharing and having fun, all told in catchy rhyming text with lots of sounds to encourage children to join in. There's a song to enjoy at the end too, and that is another way to engage children with the story.

This hilarious story had us all chuckling at bedtime.

Deacon has abridged the story here for early years children and his bold, atmospheric illustrations paint a memorable portrait of the dark and light shades of this timeless story which emphasises the power of love and the importance of sharing and forgiveness.
Beautifully designed and produced, this marvellous adaptation is an ideal gift for all young readers.

Illustrator Alexis Deacon has been rightly praised for his beautiful drawings, and he has put his talents to good use by breathing life into Oscar Wilde’s timeless fairytale The Selfish Giant.

Very moving

Anthony Browne has an unique way of looking at the world which really makes the reader think - there are many layers to his stories which make them equally enjoyable for children and adults.
