 Ingenious Story February 4, 2008
This is the most clever children's story I've ever read, and I've read hundreds of books to my 17-month old! What an imaginative, original premise with a great message, too: You can outwit any scary or imposing creature -- no matter how small you are!
I completely adore everything written by Julia Donaldson. She is my favorite children's author. She is an incredibly talented "poet" of children's literature. Another MUST BUY is The Snail and The Whale. It's a wonderfully told tale with a truly heartfelt message (I actually cried for the whale!). She's just awesome.

Impishly good humoured, great rhyme and matching illustrations November 25, 2007

Hugely enjoyable by both adult and children - a great one to read and laugh about. The illustrations always have something new in them to see and the rhymes are easily learned by the children because they are so funny and with great rhythm.
"A mouse took a stroll in the deep, dark Wood..." along the way he meets a fox, a snake and an owl. Because the mouse is clever he convinces them that he is going to meet a Gruffalo, of which the other animals have never heard of - but once they hear a Gruffalo's favourite food is respecitvely Roasted Fox, Scramble Snake and Owl Icecream - they aren't interested in eating the mouse. But then Mouse meets up with a real live GrufflOH! Mouse keeps his cool and even manages to fool him.
Glorious good fun from the team which bought you Room on the Broom and A Squash and a Squeeze - highly recommended reading!
Fun Children's Book October 21, 2007
My sons (1 and 5 yrs old)and I really enjoy this book as well as "The Gruffalo's Child" and others by Julia Donaldson. The rhyming is fun and helps the story flow and I enjoy the lesson and/or wit behind each story. These are sure to be favorites for a long time.
a very cute story September 18, 2007
This book is so fun! My 5 year old and 3 year old have both memorized it because we have read it so many times. The rhythm makes it fun to read, and the story is really cute. We have given it away as gifts as well because we enjoy it so much. It's a family favorite.
