Reviewed by Jo Linsdell:
Winner of the Smarties Book Prize Gold Award, The Gruffalo is a wonderful children's book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.
The rhyming prose tells the story of a little mouse who takes a walk in a deep dark wood and comes face to face with a fox, an owl, a snake and a Gruffalo. His quick-thinking gets him out of trouble.
Young children will love both the tale and the colour illustrations. The Gruffalo has become a regular reading request for my two year old and I’m sure will have the same effect on other youngsters.
There is also a ‘The Gruffalo Colouring book’ and ‘The Gruffalo Activity book’ in the series for children to continue the fun, and the website www.gruffalo.com for more Gruffalo activities and games.
