Product Description
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2–In this sequel to The Gruffalo (Dial, 1999), the wide-eyed daughter of that story's title character decides to find the "Big Bad Mouse" that her father has told her so much about. "His eyes are like pools of terrible fire,/and his terrible whiskers are tougher than wire." With her stick doll tucked under her arm, the youngster enters the deep, dark woods and follows marks in the snow to snake, owl, and fox. When she finally finds a little mouse, she grabs him for a feast, but the clever creature tricks her into running away to the comfort of her sleeping father's arms. The full-color cartoons portray a suitably sympathetic child in the snow-filled woods. While children may appreciate the details (the stick doll, snake tracks in the snow, gruffalo child's cave drawings) in the art, lack of change from picture to picture and in perspective diminish its effectiveness. The plot, rhymes, and art are all slightly weaker than the original tale. Purchase this where the first book is popular.–Marge Loch-Wouters, Menasha's Public Library, WI

Captivating,
By JO HALL (Canada (formerly of the U.K.)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Gruffalos Child (Paperback)
Our 19 month old son has enjoyed several of Julia Donaldson's stories. From being very small the rhyming of the stories has soothed him and as he grew older the amazing illustrations have captivated him. We laughed aloud when we first read this sequel to the gruffalo, all of our favourite characters were back again along with the clever little mouse. I cannot recomed this or any other of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's books highly enough, we hope that the pair will be publishing more books soon.

Our boys love the gruffalo!,

This review is from: The Gruffalo's Child (Hardcover)
We got this book because we bought the original and our son saw the "baby" gruffalo book and REALLY wanted it. Both our little boys (age 2 and 3.5) love the book, although we find that the big version of these books are favoured by the kids. The small size and durability is good for travel though.

A favourite by far!,

My daughter is 2 and a half...she absolutely loves this book! We read it at least 7 times in a row when she first got it! She has memorized every page...the rhythm and rhyming make it to catchy and easy! Beautifully done story...very funny and charming! We love Julia Donaldson and Axel S. together...hope they will put a christmas story out soon!
