Penguin Random House: The Gruffalo (Paperback Book)

Julia Donaldson's charming rhyming text pairs perfectly with Axel Scheffler's vivid and character - filled illustrations in The Gruffalo. It's an ideal read - aloud book and a wonderful gift for any special event! A clever mouse takes a walk in the deep, dark wood. As a hungry fox, an owl, and a snake try to eat him, the mouse invents the terrifying Gruffalo. He describes it with awful claws, tusks in its jaws, knobbly knees, turned - out toes, and a poisonous wart on its nose. Of course, there's no such thing as a Gruffalo... or is there?

To use this book, simply sit back, open it up, and start reading aloud. It's great for sharing with kids at bedtime or during a cozy afternoon. As you read, make the voices of the characters fun and engaging to keep the little ones interested. When it comes to storage, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the pages from fading. If the book gets dirty, you can gently wipe the cover with a soft, dry cloth. Don't bend the corners of the pages as it might damage the book. And remember, you can read it over and over again, each time discovering something new in the story.
