## Description

Julia Donaldson's trademark rhyming text and Axel Scheffler's brilliant, characterful illustrations come together in this perfect read aloud—now available as a board book When Mouse takes a stroll through the woods, he meets a fox, an owl, and a snake who all want to eat him! So Mouse invents a gruffalo, a monster with "terrible tusks and terrible claws, terrible teeth, and terrible jaws." But will Mouse's frightful description be enough to scare off his foes? After all, there's no such thing as a gruffalo . . . is there? Sturdy pages and a cozy trim make this rhyming read-aloud perfect for preschoolers. Winner of the prestigious British Smarties Prize.

Review: Loved by kids and parents alike! - This is one of my 3 yo son’s favorite books! I picked this for a story time at daycare and it is one of our most read books. It’s a very cute rhyming story with beautiful illustrations. One of our regulars for bedtime book time. He loves it so much that we even got the Gruffalo Tonie too!
Review: Excellent book for children - Pretty pictures and nice story. My son loves to read this book with me especially if I read it animatedly! I have other books from this author and they are all good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite book to read to my son
*by J***N on November 4, 2025*

This is my favorite book to read to my son. He has maybe 50 different books to choose from but this one is constantly requested. It's fun as an adult to read it because of the flow and rhyming, and my son loves to chime in and finish off many of the sentences. Well written book that every toddler's parent should own.
