About The Gruffalo series
Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's The Gruffalo was first published in 1999 and has become one of the best-loved picture books in the world. A mouse taking a stroll through the deep dark wood outwits a fox, an owl and a snake by inventing a fearsome creature, only to meet the Gruffalo himself.
In The Gruffalo's Child, the Gruffalo's daughter ignores her father's warning about the Big Bad Mouse and sets out into the snowy wood to find out for herself. Both stories are told in Julia Donaldson's famous rhyme, perfect for listening to again and again.
