Julia Donaldson's trademark rhyming text and Axel Scheffler's brilliant, characterful illustrations come together in this perfect read aloud—a perfect gift for any special occasion!

A mouse is taking a stroll through the deep, dark wood when along comes a hungry fox, then an owl, and then a snake. The mouse is good enough to eat but smart enough to know this, so he invents . . . the gruffalo! As Mouse explains, the gruffalo is a creature with terrible claws, and terrible tusks in its terrible jaws, and knobbly knees and turned-out toes, and a poisonous wart at the end of its nose. But Mouse has no worry to show. After all, there’s no such thing as a gruffalo. . . .

My kindergartners were obsessed with this book last year. We went to see the live action play for a field trip, so they talked about this book all year long. I love the rhyme and cadence of the book. It's very fun to read and listen to.

This book keeps the young kids entertained and even the slightly older ones. I would say it's for between 1 and 5 year olds. It's a great story to tell at bed time.

Una storia intramontabile, libro acquistato in inglese per introdurre la mia bimba alla lingua e ai suoi suoni, penso che sia ideale vista la ripetitività della storia che è sempre avvincente!
Belle le illustrazioni e bello il formato, bellissima qualità della carte e delle stampe e perfetto da portare anche in giro visto che è sottile e leggero.

J'ai acheté ce livre pour faire un peu d'anglais avec mon fils de 5ans et fille de 3ans. Il est vraiment sympa: histoire sympa, on y apprend les parties du corps, les animaux et les couleurs. Une bonne morale à la fin. Très bien conçu et très sympa. Ma fille de 3ans a quand meme eu un peu peur du monstre:-)
