About the author
The Curious Gruffalo's Child
In "The Gruffalo’s Child," Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler invite us back into the enchanting world of the deep dark wood, where familiar characters and new adventures await. While it may seem like a continuation of the original tale, this sequel offers fresh rhymes, fantasy, and cleverness. Just as we fell in love with the charming cast of characters in "The Gruffalo," we find ourselves delighted to revisit them in this sequel. However, this time, the spotlight shines on the curious and brave Gruffalo’s child, a miniature version of her fearsome father. The playful nod to the original story, with references to the Big Bad Mouse and encounters with familiar characters like the snake, owl, fox, and mouse, adds an extra layer of enjoyment for both children and adults. It sparks curiosity and prompts questions about the continuity between the two books, keeping readers engaged and eager to unravel the mysteries of the deep dark wood. As the Gruffalo’s child encounters the clever mouse once again, we are treated to a showcase of imagination and wit, as the mouse outsmarts the young Gruffalo with ease. It's a testament to the enduring charm of these beloved characters and the timeless appeal of Donaldson's storytelling. As a parent, I appreciate how the book serves as an excellent example to teach my daughter the importance of listening to her parents—a lesson that can sometimes be challenging for children to grasp. Children, being naturally curious and independent, often find themselves tempted to defy instructions and explore the world on their own terms. Through the adventures of the Gruffalo's child, we can gently remind our own children of the wisdom and experience that parents possess, guiding them toward making safe and responsible choices. Despite the Gruffalo's child's disobedience, the story ultimately underscores the unconditional love and protection that parents have for their children.

Reviewed in India on August 27, 2020
Big book. Thick,medium glossy pages. Sturdily bound. Suitable to endure the handling of a 4-5 yrs. Lovely colorful pictures to understand the story and attract them.
2. About 30 pages long, funny story . More pictures, less word- perfect for a budding little reader .
3. Rhyming lines. Simple enough, to be understandable, yet very matured classy language, enriching enough to build their vocabulary.
4. Pictures play integral part in the story. Very effective and geographically accurate.
5. Perfect delivery from Amazon. Original version.
