The Gruffalo

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. . . .
