This book is such a cute story about a little mouse outwitting the predators that want to eat him. Parents will love reading this book to their children.
A really enjoyable fun rhyming book for the young or young at heart, that takes you on a meandering journey with twists and turns on the way. Great memorable characters that you won’t forget in a hurry with fantastic illustrations to go along with the words all the way through the book.
Wether young or old this book is enjoyable from beginning to end.
The Gruffalo was one of my favourite books to read to the children in my class when I was teacher. The rhyme and rhythm of the book, as well as its fabulous character descriptions, never failed to capture their imaginations.
