The Giant Rumbledumble + downloadable audio

Young readers might well see themselves in the selfish giant, based on Oscar Wilde's classic, who doesn't want to share his favourite possession.

Through the story they see how our actions not only affect others, but can also boomerang back and affect ourselves. They can empathise with the sad and lonely giant locked into his own cold selfishness and celebrate with him the realisation that if we give happiness to others we feel it ourselves too. Above all, this story is a humorous look at accepting and correcting the mistakes we make in life.
