The Gruffalo

Winner of the Smarties Gold Award.

Every kid’s favourite monster. As epic as Bigfoot. From his terrible tusks to his terrible claws, we love every inch of him. He launched Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler to instant fame. His book was voted Britain’s favourite bedtime story. And he has the shaggiest legs, the wartiest nose and the funniest rhymes anywhere! Psst: the little mouse walking in the forest doesn’t believe in the Gruffalo. But for the sake of readers all over the world, thank goodness he really exists!
