The Gruffalo said that no gruffalo should
Ever set foot in the deep dark wood.

But one wild and windy night the Gruffalo's child disobeys her father's warnings and ventures out into the snow. After all, the Big Bad Mouse doesn't really exist... does he?

The Gruffalo's Child is the number one bestselling, much-loved sequel to the worldwide picture-book phenomenon that is The Gruffalo. Julia Donaldson's trademark rhyming text and Axel Scheffler's brilliant, characterful illustrations combine once more to ensure that the Gruffalo's Child has followed firmly in her father's footsteps and that her story is one that children will ask for again, and again... and again!

This handy board book format is perfect for younger readers. It features the classic story with a stunning redesigned cover and beautiful finish, making it a must-have for even the smallest Donaldson and Scheffler fans!

Also available in board book format and with striking redesigned covers are:
The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom, The Snail and the Whale, The Smartest Giant in Town, Monkey Puzzle, Charlie Cook's Favourite Book, and A Squash and a Squeeze.

Review

A variation on the relationship between the canny mouse and the gentle but huge and ugly Gruffalo, so deliciously played out in The Gruffalo, is wittily recreated in this welcome encore. ― The Guardian

The Gruffalo’s Child achieves the impossible - an even more endearing, witty and delightful book than its parent. ― The Bookseller

Fun book that my daughter loved.

Reviewed in Australia on 10 March 2021

Bought this book for my daughters Christmas present. She loved the original gruffalo book. This is probably not as good as the original but still a fun read.

Wish people would check actual condition

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 December 2021

Verified Purchase

I was really excited to get this book for my three year old as she is obsessed with all things gruffalo. The condition was stated as good and when it arrived it had a few bumps, bends and stickers, all expected and absolutely fine. Until I went to open the book that clearly hasn’t been checked properly as the first two pages were stuck together with chewing gum. I am utterly disappointed that the first thing I had to do was pick someone else’s chewing gum off the first page, this took off some words from the book. Next time I would urge the seller to check the condition of something before just selling it as good.

Another classic and must have book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 September 2016

A follow on from the Gruffalo but can be read in it's own right.

Julia Donaldson/Axel Scheffler books are works of art. The stories are written beautifully, rhyming with a rhythm that sets the pace. This ensures that as an adult I do not get bored reading the same stories over and over again as the more familiar the story becomes the more I can work on my expression and how I deliver giving me almost as joyful an experience as that of my son listening to them. I feel excited when he brings me a book and then we can have a short bonding session over the story before he goes off to play again. The books describe simple everyday scenes and experiences that a child might encounter helping them make sense of the world around them, mixed with magical characters like dragons, witches, Santa etc.
Alex Schefflers artwork is beautiful complements the stories perfectly. The same characters often pop up in different books, whether it be the Gruffalo Child’s stick man in his own story or simply a squirrel and a frog. This helps my son who is fifteen months old develop his own narrative. He does not understand the words I am reading but gets plenty from the rhythm and my intonation whilst building his own story and understanding from the pictures, he is always pointing different characters out to me or finding them when I ask where they are. He loves books and I think that these books enhance a joy of reading and learning. He brings the books to me time and time again.

Like the Gruffalo, the rhythm and pace of this book makes it a joy for me to read over and over again. That way I can keep each retelling fresh and interesting for both me and my son.

You can’t go wrong with a Gruffalo Book so this comes highly recommended in our house! We are currently using books as a reward for good behaviour and watching the film while reading the book to encourage reading with our 2 and a 1/2 year old and it’s working so well thanks to wonderful books like this! A great story and a great priced board book!

Excellent Board Book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 August 2019

Verified Purchase

We love board books at our house. We have quite a few of them and use read/re-read them all the time. They are in between paper and hardback books and can take quite a bit of wear and tear with toddlers We are on to our second child with board books and they still look good (not brand new but a paperback would not classed as a book at the same stage). Would highly recommend these.
