Look insideJulia Donaldson Pack
Enjoy a bounty of wonderful treats from the author of The Gruffalo! Four of her celebrated books with artist Axel Scheffler, plus one fantastic rhyme illustrated by the brilliantly quirky Lydia Monks. Told in bouncing, comical rhymes which vividly explore important life lessons, these books are adored by children and grown-ups alike. As well as the iconic Gruffalo, with his terrible tusks and terrible claws, readers will meet an array of vibrant characters: a busking cat, a befuddled little monkey in search of his mum – and a shy, quiet ladybird who turns out to save the day!
