love you forever....tried reading it to a playgroup of 8 kids plus parents/helpers... quite embarrassing that i couldn't finish it and had to have my assistant do the honours... i was a snivelling mess... the parents all thought it quite hilarious!

I've done a bit of googling - I think the UK version (the one we have) is 'Smartest Giant' and the US or maybe Aus version is 'Spiffiest'. I didn't even know there was such a word as 'spiffiest'...learn something new every day!
The others of Julia Donaldson that I love are "Sharing a Shell", "Monkey Puzzle" and "Room on the Broom".
I also love all the Dr Seuss ones.

I think you're right, KatBoo. :) I just assumed that "spiffy" is a British term. I'll have a look at our book tomorrow (can't go in now, kiddies are asleep).
Others that we like:
- We're Going on a Bear Hunt
- Go, Dog, Go
- Richard Scarry's "Cars, Trucks, and Things That Go"
- Rooster Can't Cock-a-Doodle-Doo
- Things That Are Most in the World
- Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
- My Many-Colored Days (Dr. Seuss)
- What Makes a Rainbow? (This one is beautiful with colored silk ribbons making up a rainbow).

My LO also really likes "Go Dogs, Go". He also likes books by Byron Barton like "My Car" and "Machines at Work".

carang, I totally hear you. You're so brave to even try and attempt to read it in front of an audience. I get choked up merely describing the book to perpetual strangers.
*snivelling mess* Haha - wish I was there. :)
