The Gruffalo's Child Paperback – Picture Book, 1 Mar. 2007

My little person loves this book and always goes and picks it out for a bedtime story . Beautiful book

Another amazing book in this series. Grandchildren love them. Illustrations were fantastic too.

The boy loved it as did his mother. He also has The Gruffalo book

A follow on from the Gruffalo but can be read in it's own right.Julia Donaldson/Axel Scheffler books are works of art. The stories are written beautifully, rhyming with a rhythm that sets the pace. This ensures that as an adult I do not get bored reading the same stories over and over again as the more familiar the story becomes the more I can work on my expression and how I deliver giving me almost as joyful an experience as that of my son listening to them. I feel excited when he brings me a book and then we can have a short bonding session over the story before he goes off to play again. The books describe simple everyday scenes and experiences that a child might encounter helping them make sense of the world around them, mixed with magical characters like dragons, witches, Santa etc.Alex Schefflers artwork is beautiful complements the stories perfectly. The same characters often pop up in different books, whether it be the Gruffalo Child’s stick man in his own story or simply a squirrel and a frog. This helps my son who is fifteen months old develop his own narrative. He does not understand the words I am reading but gets plenty from the rhythm and my intonation whilst building his own story and understanding from the pictures, he is always pointing different characters out to me or finding them when I ask where they are. He loves books and I think that these books enhance a joy of reading and learning. He brings the books to me time and time again.Like the Gruffalo, the rhythm and pace of this book makes it a joy for me to read over and over again. That way I can keep each retelling fresh and interesting for both me and my son.

Excellent big page story book letters & writing good size lovely story pictures colours great

Very nice book, it was a treat for my youngest daughter

A great story. Unfortunately my granddaughter (3) finds it scary at the moment. Hopefully, when she's a little older she will enjoy it. She likes 'The Gruffalo' so I assumed she'd like this.

I bought this for my Grandchildren who love the Gruffalo stories.It was in perfect condition.
