The Gruffalo [Donaldson, Julia] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Gruffalo

Review: This is a book they will want to read over and over. - A super cute book for all ages with the cutest illustrations and characters. This book makes a heartfelt bedtime story or a cute classroom book where children can read over and over again.
Review: Yes, yes, yes. All of the Yes. - Summary: It's a wonderful story about a little brown Mouse taking a walk through a deep dark wood and not getting eaten by bigger animals by convincing them of the existence of a terrible creature, the Gruffalo. All is going well for our Mouse, until he meets the Gruffalo face to face! Then he has to convince the Gruffalo that he's actually a big scary creature. It's written by Julia Donaldson who is my absolute favourite children's author right now. I was a nanny for 11 years and I know that anything by Julia Donaldson is going to be a hit. This book has been around so long and is so popular in England that there is actually a lot of merch that you can get to go with it if you choose. There's a movie, an audio book, stuffed animals to represent every character, and even a sequel! The Gruffalo's Child. This is absolutely one of the best children's books around. I can not recommend this highly enough. Every person that I know/ am related to that is under the age of 10 has received this book from me as a present at some point in their lives. I usually purchase it as a baby shower gift because I want to make sure they have it, either that or for a child I nannied, it would be for the first birthday I celebrated with them. Kids love this book because of the repetitive rhyming scheme and it's easy to jump in words at the end of sentences for pre-readers. I will never tire of reading this, even over and over. In fact, it's probably been 2 or 3 years since I've read it, and I could absolutely recite it from memory right now. Proudly! In fact, stop reading this review and buy the book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a great story for children of any age
*by J***N on October 8, 2024*

I had heard of the gruffalo while we were living in England and actually purchased a DVD of the story. It is such a cute story that I wanted my grandchildren to also have the book. They love it!! It is a great story and the illustrations are wonderful. This should be a classic that you should be added to every parent or grandparent's library.
