Format:Hardcover
The Gruffalo is such a classic that anything trying to build on its reputation has a hard task to impress. However, as long as you buy this book knowing what it is - an accompaniment to a good fun children's song CD - and what it isn't - a new Julia Donaldson picture book - then you shouldn't be disappointed. I didn't know that J.D. also wrote songs until I saw this in the book shop and I'm glad I now do. The songs in this book are fun, and especially that lead song of the gruffalo. My children (2&4) have taken immediately to this musical version of the Gruffalo's description and, as it's catchy, have spent several days lumbering round the house singing it. There's a nice mix of nine songs including, for example, one encouraging the listener to pull a funny face; another to keep on the go; a monkey puzzle song, a version of the Hare and the Tortoise and a the whole of a Squash and a Squeeze set to music. In no time at all you'll be singing along.

Format:Audio CD
My son was bought this for Christmas and I barely looked at it before putting it on in the car. I thought it was excellent - I was a little surprised that the singing was characterful rather than technically excellent, but when I realised they were sung by the author herself, I didn't mind, and in fact the delivery just adds to the fun. The lyrics are brilliant (no forced rhymes!) and the melodies are catchy and easy to learn. My two year old loves it, and it keeps the baby quiet too! Definitely a good buy for children who love music and grown-ups who are maybe a tiny bit bored with nursery rhymes!!

Format:Audio CD
I bought the CD and book after a live performance and my kids absolutely love it!
In my opinion there is a great range of songs, from action songs like Pull a funny face to the Calypso based Squash and a Squeeze.
The CD has been played over and over on many a long car journey, and even my 1.5 year old sings along in his own way!
I would recommend this to any Gruffalo or Julia Donaldson fan as a must for their collection.

I should have believed the other reviews!
I *so* wanted the other reviews to be wrong. I wanted to say that people were being too harsh about JD's voice. But I can't! Read more
