Look insideThe Gruffalo (Board Book)
He has terrible tusks and terrible claws, and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws! Luckily, the fearsome Gruffalo doesn’t really exist – does he? When a little mouse scares off some hungry woodland predators with his stories of a big, bad Gruffalo, he feels safe in the knowledge that this huge, hairy monster is only make-believe. But when the Gruffalo suddenly appears and wants to gobble him up, the quick-thinking mouse must outsmart him in an ingenious way! Julia Donaldson’s classic rhyming story of wit and imagination is now available in a durable board book edition to enjoy again and again.
Winner of the Nestle Smarties Gold Award.

This is an unforgetable tale of a mouse that avoids predators by telling them about the gruffalo. I recommend this book for young readers aged 2-6
