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...

Synopsis
One dark night the Gruffalo's child disobeys her father's warnings and ventures out into the snow. After all, the Big Bad Mouse doesn't really exist, does he?

Customer Reviews

loved it!
Lovely to have a book that we didn't know the ending for. The rhyming is great and keeps you moving through the book at a good pace and it is beautifully illustrated in a fun way with lots of little details that aren't immediately obvious so you can keep coming back to it and spotting more. Our 11 month old is really starting to enjoy it and my husband has also remarked on this being one his favourite books to read to her.

Great Book
What a great follow on from the Gruffalo. My daughter loves it and it's a great way to teach children not to go off on their own.

Excellent Childrens Book
Not quite as good as the original gruffalo, but still an excellent childrens book that my son absolutely adores.

It will not make much sense if you have not read the gruffalo, so make sure you read that first before this book.

Al the same characters are there from the original book, and this is quite funny too. The illustrations are marvellous and there are some very funny drawings, like the mouses snowman that will also entertain small children.
