A mouse is taking a stroll through the deep, dark wood when along comes a hungry fox, then an owl, and then a snake. The mouse is good enough to eat but smart enough to know this, so he invents . . . the gruffalo! As Mouse explains, the gruffalo is a creature with terrible claws, and terrible tusks in its terrible jaws, and knobbly knees and turned-out toes, and a poisonous wart at the end of its nose. But Mouse has no worry to show. After all, there’s no such thing as a gruffalo. . . .

"We are big fans of this short movie so when I saw the book, it was a must have for my kids. Before receiving, I had concerns about the length keeping the attention of my 2.5 year old but it is perfect; not too long while still including important details. We have fun reading it using a variety of voices to distinguish all of the characters. This will be read many times for years to come!"

The Gruffalo Julia Donaldson 9780142403877 Books Reviews
- Our 3 year old really enjoys to have stories and books read to him and leading up to Halloween he was asking for a book with monsters. So we decided to look on and found both The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child for him.
Both of the Gruffalo books are nicely illustrated with fun and engaging stories for him. Each page has a drawing that helps to paint the picture of what is being read. The Gruffalo is a new character for him that has helped to present a monster to him in a non-scary manner.
If you a looking for new reading material for your little one, or to introduce them to monsters that aren't scary, then this is a good purchase.
If you found this review "Helpful", please click the button below. - I agree 100% with a previous user comment... Changing the text to Americanize phrases has completely altered the rhyme and flow of the book and makes it lose it's charm... Disappointed that didn't say where the book was edited, or offer another version. Would have never ordered if I knew that it was changed from the original that my kids love.
- We LOVE this book! I don’t know how I missed it until recently, but my 3-yr-old LOVES it, and my 12-month old is starting to love it, too! He has memorized most of the good parts about the gruffalo, and the rhymes and cadence are so lovely. We like to read the book, then watch “The Gruffalo†on Netflix (also SO cute). Then we read “The Gruffalo’s Child,†and watch that! Such a fun, clever book! I find myself thinking of the lines at work!
- I had already known I would love the story because we watched it on YouTube b4. However what made me love the book even more is that my daughter didn't like the scary looking graffalo on the TV screen. However she gets to touch it on the the book and see that its harmless. Its just another ugly picture lo in a wonderful story. Everything about this book is good except that the cover came with some dents and white spots where the red had been peeled or rubbed off. But not even that could take a star out because the story beats it all. After all my toddler will eventually dent and peel it haha.
- We are big fans of this short movie so when I saw the book, it was a must have for my kids. Before receiving, I had concerns about the length keeping the attention of my 2.5 year old but it is perfect; not too long while still including important details. We have fun reading it using a variety of voices to distinguish all of the characters. This will be read many times for years to come!
- I first saw the book, The Gruffalo, in Europe when I was on a trip, and bought it for my grands. When I was looking for another copy to give as a gift, I saw this sequel, The Gruffalo's Child. It is as charming as the first! Slightly scary - just enough to keep young kids engrossed, but with a sweet end and story. I strongly recommend both!
- Review for Arabic version. I am not a native Arabic speaker, I am just reading for learning purposes. I can't comment on the exact quality of translation, but it appears to be good. Most of my review is from the perspective of a person who is learning Arabic as a second language.
The localization is pretty good, too. It's not a straight word-for-word translation -- it's more like the whole story was rewritten it's all rhyming poetry, and uses different (more eastern) words for foods, e.g. kabab. The pages read right-to-left like they should and the images have been flipped to make it appear correct. Great quality job over all. It sounds pretty cute when read aloud. From a reading level perspective, it is a bit harder than some children's books, but not overly difficult (6-10 lines of poetry per page). Some some vowel markings are present on harder words.
I found the story to be very cute and would definitely read to kids. It shows that being clever can get you quite far. Just watch out for that غرÙول in the forest! - Though our little boy is too young to understand the book yet, both Julia Donaldson books we own are all wonderful. The books read like a haiku poem. They are fun and inspiring and teach a little lesson. In the case of The Gruffalo, it teaches the importance of staying calm under pressure and thinking creatively. The other book we own from Julia, Room on the Broom, teaches the importance of strong relationship. In my opinion, these books are "Must Have's" for any child literary collection. Another book of hers is on its way, The Snail and the Whale, and we will continue to expand our collection of her books in the future.
