Book Summary
George the giant, who feels scruffy, buys a whole new, smart outfit. However, as he journeys home, he repeatedly encounters animals in distress and selflessly gives away pieces of his new clothing to help them. In the end, George realizes that true kindness and compassion are more valuable than smart clothes.
