Head, shoulders…
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.
And eyes, and ears, and mouth,
And nose.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes,

The emperor new clothes
The smartest giant in town
The smartest giant in town
Front cover
Back to picturebook of this post! The smartest giant in town... does outward appearance really matter? George thought so! He was a scruffy giant, the scruffiest in town, "He always wore the same pair of old brown sandals and the same old patched up gown." This is the story of George and his smart new clothes. Julia Donaldson almost always writes in rhyme, though in this picturebook she's mixed prose with rhyme. I often wonder how writers and illustrators work together and whose ideas belong to who - who decides what will be in the illustrations? I found an article in the Guardian which answered my question: Julia readily admits that all the illustrative ideas belong to Axel Scheffler, "He adds so many little witty touches to the books." In this picturebook there are loads of other things to notice, dozens of references to other stories, often traditional ones, which children will recognize almost immediately.
Let's start with the covers, the front and back. A great big spread showing us the characters that appear in the story, dwarfed by a giant pair of legs wearing smart black shoes.
Title page
The title page gives us a cameo illustration of the giant, he's looking forlorn, in old clothes and sandals. It's a contrast to the the title sitting above the illustration, announcing that the giant is smart and we've also just been shown smart looking giant legs on the cover, so it gets our curiosity going and already we are wondering whether this is the smart giant we are going to read about.
Opening 1
The opening spread shows us a busy street scene: it's a land of make believe, filled with normal sized people, giants and creatures wearing clothes, some taken right out of well known traditional stories. Do you recognize any of the characters in this illustration? Could the two children by the fountain be Hansel and Gretel? There's Puss in Bootsand a dwarf from Snow White for sure, and the fountain is reminiscent of The little Mermaid. Can you see the sign right on the edge of the recto page? "NEW! GIANT SIZES", a clue for what might come next!
Opening 2
And sure enough! This is just what our giant happens upon, a shop selling smart clothes, and they have his giant size! He buys a whole set of new clothes, and becomes "... the smartest giant in town". I love his socks, "with diamonds down the sides". A sign of true smartness!
George the giant leaves his old clothes in the shop and off he goes looking terribly smart. But of course something has to happen, he meets a sad giraffe, whose long neck is terribly cold.
Opening 4
And in true kindness, George gives the giraffe his tie, and as he walks away he begins a song, which continues through the book:
"My tie is a scarf for a cold giraffe,
But look me up and down -
I'm the smartest giant in town."
Look at the illustrations on this spread. A lovely looking giantess quite fancies our George; there's one of the pigs from Three little pigs; another dwarf; a studious rabbit is peering at a "MIssing Giraffe" poster; a man carrying a chicken; there's a rabbit using a mobile phone. Children will notice and want to comment on these features. There is so much going on. George of course continues oblivious to the activity around him!
He comes to a river and a goat who was "bleating loudly", on a boat of all things (it rhymes with goat as we will see in a bit!). The poor goat has lost his sail, and so George donates his very smart shirt. This is the visual sequence we see on the two spreads:
Opening 5
Opening 6
And it's repeated three more times: Left verso shows George meeting an animal in distress, facing right recto with three cameo illustrations describing the animal's distress, followed by a new page showing George resolving the problem by donating an item of clothing and finally walking away, singing his little ditty, which gets gradually longer as you can see here:
"My tie is a scarf for a cold giraffe,
My shirt's on a boat as a sail for a goat,
But look me up and down -
I'm the smartest giant in town."
And so George meets a family of mice, whose house had burned down. He gives them his ... shoe of course! It's reminiscent of "There was an old lady who lived in a shoe"! He then met a fox, who was crying next to his tent because his sleeping bag was wet. So George gave him his very smart yellow sock with diamonds down the side. Then he met a dog who was stuck in a muddy bog, so George gave him his belt to cross the bog. And of course as you look at these different spreads look out for more of the three little pigs and a princess and a frog!
And here is George, very pleased with himself, skipping happily along with one shoe and sock, and a pair of belt-less trousers ...
Opening 12
... and his song has got quite a bit longer!
"My tie is a scarf for a cold giraffe,
My shirt's on a boat as a sail for a goat,
My shoe is a house for a little white mouse,
One of my socks is a bed for a fox,
My belt helped a dog who was crossing a bog ..."
But oh dear, what happens?
Opening 13
With no belt, his trousers fall down! And now he's cold and "not at all smart". Poor George! So he decides to go back to the town and find his old clothes. Lucky for him they were outside the shop in a very large plastic bag. Once he had his old clothes back on he felt like "the cosiest giant in town!" and was quite content. But that's not the end! Waiting for him back at home were the five animals he had helped.
Opening 14
They had made him a very special crown and written a thank you letter. And so George became the kindest giant in town!
The illustrations in The smartest giant in town support the words very closely, but the additional mini-stories that appear via the ad hoc appearance of other story characters leave lots of space for chattering and wondering. Annett describes observing a teacher in Germany who let the children talk about the illustrations in German before she read the words on the page. She did this with 6-7 year olds and 8-9 year olds, who have 50 minutes of English once a week. She described the process like this: " The teacher being [very] experienced and knowing the children very well gave them a lot of time to speak about the pictures in the mother tongue just supplying individual words in English here and there such as animal names (frog, squirrel) for example before reading out the text on one page in English." I really like this idea, and it's something I do a lot when sharing picturebooks with children and upon rereading picturebooks children begin to describe and label illustrations in English.
Annett presented at a conference about this picturebook and a section of her presentation was summarised thus: "Although the children’s initial responses prompted by the pictures in the book were exclusively in their mother tongue, Annett argued that they are nonetheless facilitating L2 learning. By reading the pictures and talking about them, she stated that children construct a framework of possible meanings that may become more elaborate and more precise as they decode visual images and language structures during repeated storytelling sessions. The pictures act as a form of scaffolding device in the same way as recurrent language structures in the literary text provide an ‘entry point or way into the story’ (Cameron 2001: 163). Annett stated that the children’s first language was an invaluable aid in that process as individual words used by the children in their L1 can be taken up by the teacher to introduce new language items in the L2."
Rereading a picturebook is essential in enabling the L1 to support the L2, I can't emphasise enough the importance of sharing a picturebook at least three times with a group of children, not only does it help them move from L1 to L2, but it also gives children time to look and listen and understand, each time they'll pick up something new and different. As EFL teachers we focus on children's imitation of the words on a picturebook page, but in fact the illustrations also have significance, and words are needed to describe them. I've been saying this at conferences, but I'l say it again, picturebooks are pictures and words and both can be used to promote language use.
Annett described some follow up activities which are nice to feature here too. She used a handout from the British Council in Hong Kong, which can be down loaded here. Here's a scan of the mix and match activity the older children did. As you can see, the song is an excellent way to focus on language, as it's repetitious and cumulative.
They also looked at thank you cards, which they wrote in German, though a similar activity could be done in English with children who are more confident in their writing skills.
I'd like to thank Annett for sharing some of her thoughts and ideas around this picturebook, and for allowing me to share some of the children's work. Here's the reference she used:

Who is wearing green today?
- THE HOUSE
The three little pigs
Bear at home
Song:
Who´s afraid of the big bad wolf?
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
The big bad wolf, the big bad wolf
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
Tra la la la la
Long ago there were three pigs
Little handsome piggy wigs
For the big, bad the very big, very bad wolf
They did not give three figs
Number one was very gay
And he built his house with hay
With a hey hey toot he blew on his flute
And he played around all day
Now number two was fond of jigs
And so he built his house with twigs
Hey, diddle diddle he played on his fiddle
And danced with lady pigs
Number three said, "Nix on tricks
I shall build my house with bricks"
He had no chance to sing or dance
'Cause work and play don't mix
Ha, ha, ha, the two little do little pigs
Just winked and laughed ah, woo
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
The big bad wolf, the big bad wolf
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
Tra la la la la
Came the day when fate did frown
And a wolf blew into town
With a gruff huff puff, he puffed just enough
And the hay house fell right down
One and two were scared to death
Of the big bad wolf's breath
By the hair of your chinny chin I'll blow you in
And the twig house answered yes
No one left but number three
To save that piglet family
So when they knocked, he fast unlocked
And said come in with me
Now they all were safe inside
But the bricks hurt wolf's pride
So, he slid down the chimney and oh, by Jiminey
In a fire he was fried
Oh, oh, oh, the three little free little pigs
Just winked and laughed, ah, woo
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
The big bad wolf, the big bad wolf
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
Tra la la la la
Tra la la, tra la la
Tra la la la la la la la la la la
Who's afraid of the big, big, big
Bad wolf
The three little pigs
Rhyme.
This little piggy went to market…
