Written by the best children's author, Julia Donaldson (well we think so at least!), The Gruffalo is a classic story in every child's library. He’s not just a worm, he’s a Superworm! A hero with a difference. He is super-ling and super-strong, always on hand to help all the other animals. Superworm is a super-helper whether he’s saving a baby toad from an accident, rescuing a beetle or offering himself up as a jumping rope for some bored bees. When the wicked Wizard lizard hears about Superworm’s popularity, he sends his servant crow to kidnap Superworm and uses his magic flower to enslave the brave hero. After learning their hero and friend is in trouble, the other animals come together to form a plan to set him free.
