Collins Big Cat: The Selfish Giant

A wonderful retelling of Oscar Wilde’s classic story about a fierce, angry giant, who wants nothing to do with the children who play in his beautiful garden. But when he finds himself miserable and alone in an eternal winter-land, it’s an act of kindness to an unlikely friend that brings back Spring and, finally, happiness. Copper/Band 12 books provide more complex plots and longer chapters that develop reading stamina.
