Julia Donaldson brings the Gruffalo, and his child back to life in this heartwarming tale of bravery, gaining independence, and a sense of home. The young Gruffalo’s child leaves the comfort of her cave in search of The Big Bad Mouse, whom her father has told her many stories about. All of the animals featured in The Gruffalo are back in this book, so there’s plenty for your little one to recognise as they go along. With Donaldson’s classic rhyming and Axel Scheffler’s charming illustrations, The Gruffalo’s Child is a delightful, endearing story.
“The Gruffalo said that no gruffalo should
Ever set foot in the deep dark wood.”
