“Proof that the smallest one in the deep dark wood can be the cleverest. By the third meeting, your child will be finishing the rhymes before you do.”
A small mouse makes up a monster. Then the monster turns up.
The Gruffalo is a rhyming picture book about a quick-witted mouse who talks his way out of trouble.
A mouse is walking through the deep dark wood. A fox, an owl and a snake each invite him home for a meal, and he knows who the meal would be. So he invents a terrifying gruffalo. But what if the monster he made up is real?
Why children love it
- A big "Oh help! Oh no!" moment that children love to shout together.
- The monster takes shape bit by bit, from knobbly knees to "purple prickles all over his back".
- Rich woodland pictures, from a swooping owl to the gruffalo's orange eyes and terrible teeth.
By Julia Donaldson · Illustrated by Axel Scheffler · English
