 Hilarious sequel to the Gruffalo - the big bad mouse is back September 20, 2008
This is the gorgeous sequel to Julia Donaldson's amazing and imaginative story, the Gruffalo. If you thought she couldn't top The Gruffalo - then think again. Again, this has been ably illustrated by the amazing Axel Scheffler - whose pictures of the Gruffalo cave and gruffalo toys had my kids in fits of laughter even before the story began.
Again the amazing rhyme and rhythm which Donaldson manages to put into her rhymes really manages to draw children into the story. They are amusing little observances throughout. I must admit, the first time I read this I assumed that the gruffalo child and the mouse, when they finally met, would make friends - but no - the Gruffalo child just wants to eat the mouse as well! And once again, the mouse is too cunning to let that happen.
Gorgeous book which I am sure your children will love as much as I do. We seem to have a stack of Julia Donaldson and Lauren Child books by our bed which are read over and over as bedtime storys.
Great follow-on for fans of the first June 27, 2008
If you and your children have read The Gruffalo so many times that all of you can pretty much recite it, I would highly recommend getting this sequel. The Gruffalo was one of our top reads, and now that we have The Gruffalo's Child it's been a quick replacement. I think we enjoy it as much as the first book -- and the fact that we get a change of pace but with familiar characters is an added bonus. There's much to enjoy in the detailed illustrations as well. Both books are great!
A treasured book February 28, 2008
This has been the "must read" book at our house for six months straight. The three year old has not tired of it! Amazing. He knows every phrase and allows NO substitues. Perfect!
Enjoyable Children's book October 21, 2007
My sons (1 and 5 yrs old)and I really enjoy this book as well as "The Gruffalo" 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.
The Gruffalo's Child July 8, 2007
Bravo. This is a wonderful book. We loved the first one: The Gruffalo. This is a very sweet and whitty book with great cadence. My children love her books. It is a must read.
