I don't think there is any direct SQL command to do it. But try this:

psql -d your_database
        \t
        \a
        \o /tmp/sqlscript
        SELECT 'GRANT SELECT ON '  || schemaname || '.' || tablename ||
        ' TO PUBLIC ;'
          FROM pg_tables
          WHERE tableowner = CURRENT_USER;
        \o
        \i /tmp/sqlscript
