Julia Donaldson's trademark rhyming text and Axel Scheffler's brilliant, characterful illustrations come together in this perfect read aloud—a perfect gift for any special occasion! A mouse is taking a stroll through the deep, dark wood when along comes a hungry fox, then an owl, and then a snake. The mouse is good enough to eat but smart enough to know this, so he invents . . . the gruffalo! As Mouse explains, the gruffalo is a creature with terrible claws, and terrible tusks in its terrible jaws, and knobbly knees and turned-out toes, and a poisonous wart at the end of its nose. But Mouse has no worry to show. After all, there’s no such thing as a gruffalo. . . . Review: Very Interesting read - 1.Get up and presentation- Big book. Thick,medium glossy pages.

Funny and nice story
I bought this for my son. The board book is sturdy and the prints are so clear. The price is also affordable for the quality. Since I have a prime shopping membership the book was delivered the next day itself. It's so fun to read it along with my son. He really enjoyed the images and the whole experience. It's a good thing to introduce books to your little ones instead of letting them watch the mobile phones all day. Planning to buy other books in the series as well!!

Price can be reduced
Story is good..the look and feel of the book is also good..still I feel that the price is lil hyped. Kids loose interest after it is ready 2-3 times.

Simple and beautiful story with wonderful illustrations. Very Witty, rhyming and repetitive sentences make it an absolute winner. A Must have for any toddler library.

Tolles Buch, meine Kinder sind begeistert!
Tolles Buch, meine Kinder sind begeistert! Der Grüffelo ist bei uns zuhause inzwischen ein absoluter Klassiker. Die Reime sind humorvoll, rhythmisch und machen beim Vorlesen richtig Spaß – selbst nach dem zehnten Mal. Die Geschichte ist spannend, aber gleichzeitig nicht zu gruselig, sodass auch jüngere Kinder gut folgen können. Besonders gefällt mir, wie clever die kleine Maus ist und wie sie mit Mut und Fantasie jedes größere Tier austrickst. Die Illustrationen sind liebevoll und detailreich, sodass meine Kinder immer wieder neue Kleinigkeiten entdecken. Auch die Botschaft des Buches – dass man mit Köpfchen oft weiterkommt als mit Stärke – finde ich sehr schön. Insgesamt ein wunderbares Kinderbuch, das wir uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen können.
