The Smartest Giant in Town by Julia Donaldson, Illustrated by Axel Scheffler

Luffy and I are back with another Julia Donaldson book this week - The Smartest Giant in Town by Julia Donaldson, Illustrated by Axel Scheffler. It's a good book, especially because this is the first time (I think) Preeti is singing from a book to Luffy. The Giant keeps singing to himself throughout the book, with every event adding a new verse to the song. The book also introduced Luffy to "What's the matter?" - which is now one of his catchphrases.

Like with a few earlier books, this book was also borrowed from the bookshelf library in Hyderabad, India. We just returned this book back to the library today. We didn't pick up any of Julia Donaldsons' books this time but I loved reading The Ugly Five (same author and illustrator) while we were there. Preeti thinks that Luffy isn't at the age yet to understand The Ugly Five so i'll eagerly wait for that time. Until then, there are a lot of other childrens' books to go through.
