Product Description

Books for Keeps, November 2004

Donaldson's rhyming text reads aloud like a dream... cleverly laid visual cues... Altogether a spine-tingling, mock-scary delight...


Product Description

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 ignores her father’s warning and tiptoes out into the snow. After all, the Big Bad Mouse doesn’t really exist . . . does he?

Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler are on dazzling form in this captivating sequel to the classic picture book THE GRUFFALO.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly magical, 15 Nov 2004
By A Customer
I loved the Gruffalo, but have to disagree with those who felt that the sequel was somehow lacking in magic. The Gruffalo's child is truly wonderful, with a great story, lovely use of language and absolutely incredible illustrations. I actually preferred it to the original in some ways, particularly because I felt that 'bold' children (of whom I know several!) would identify with the child in this book - seeking adventure and finding a little more than she bargained for! For those who haven't read it yet - the Gruffalo's child has grown up with stories of the Big Bad Mouse, and sneaks off to see if he really exists.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 2 year old loved it, 7 Jan 2006
By Mr. S. J. Mrs Mayger "Vital Books" (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My 2 year old boy sat and let me read him this book (usually he only likes the pictures and wont listen to the words, but he delighted in this one) and was able to tell the story back to me in his own little words. That was a first for us. Good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying sequel to Children's Classic, 9 Sep 2004
I couldn't wait to snap this up when I saw that there was a new title in the Gruffalo series. The first book ("The Gruffalo") is a true classic and I think I enjoy reading it to my daughter just as much as she enjoys listening to it and joining in. The style of the Gruffalo's Child is similar and the same characters appear (snake, owl, fox and mouse). The tale of the big bad mouse has become a Gruffalo legend so the Gruffalo's child decides to go go looking for him in the deep dark wood.

Written in the same rhyming style and with the same fantastic illustrations, this book is sure to delight adults and children. Maybe not quite as cool as the first book but still worth every penny of the asking price.

Buy it - you won't regret it (and the kids might like it too!)
