The Selfish Giant is a 32-page graded Reader in Helbling Young Readers Classics for CEFR A1 learners. Maria Cleary retells Oscar Wilde's story from *The Happy Prince and Other Tales*: the Giant sends the children out of his garden and builds a wall, winter stays there, then spring returns when the children come back through a small hole. The book works well for primary classes reading about seasons and weather, with audio and games on Helbling e-zone kids and a classroom project for drama masks and Easter or spring crafts.
