Customer Reviews

Great way to follow The Gruffalo

SO cute!!! A real enjoyment to read with the kiddos.

Enjoyable Children's book

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

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.

The Gruffalo's Child

A great follow up to one of our favourite books, The Gruffalo. Although, I think, To truly appreciate this book you need to have at least read The Gruffalo once or twice. My daughter loved it so much when we borrowed it from the library, she asked me to buy it (not something my six year old usually does!). Now we can read it whenever we want.

Our son wanted this every night for 15 nights in a row!

If you have a child that wants a book read over and over and over and over, then this is for you. A great book for your child AND a fun read for you as the adult. Great rythm and cadence.

A real Sean pleaser

I bought this book for my three-year old, Sean. It has rapidly become his favorite bedtime story. It has fun rhymes with a good meter and wonderful pictures. Sean also took it to daycare for show-and-tell where it was also a big hit. We like The Gruffalo's Child so much, we have ordered the book that preceded it, The Gruffalo.
