Changes

On his way home he meets numerous animals suffering from various disasters. Each of them can be helped by one piece of George's new attire so he ends up as a very cold giant indeed and finding the shop closed, resurrects his old gown and his old sandals. However, good deeds do not go unrewarded and surrounded by grateful animals and in his new gold paper crown George is happier than ever.

The story this is told in prose but still with some of the Donaldson's trademark nicely flowing rhymed sections. The theme and the plot are easy to follow and enjoyable even for a very small child. The classic construction scheme of a children's book, where the character goes through a series of similar experiences only in different guises (in this case George meets various needy animals) is, and rightly so, a favourite with children's Julia Donaldsons simply because children love it (parents perhaps less so on the reading number 167).
