Summary: Good for confidence-building
Comment: My 3 year old daughter loves this book. Within a week she knew most of the words and she now 'reads' it to herself while looking at the pictures. The rhymes are well written with plenty of repetition, making them easy for a child to learn. We read it together most days. It ranks with the Dr Seuss books for popularity on her bookshelf.
The message of the book is that size doesnt matter, that it is more important to use your wits. I particularly like the chorus 'silly old fox (snake/owl), doesnt he know, there's no such thing as a gruffalo', as it makes the reader feel that they are outwitting the fox/snake/owl, and finally even the Gruffalo itself.

Summary: A great book!... but can you come up with a good tune?
Comment: We got books instead of the usual souvenirs on our trip to London. The Gruffalo was the biggest hit of the bunch. It reads effortlessly and our kids adore it! They already know all the words by heart and have taken to making up different tunes to go with the "lyrics." The illustrations give the storyline a sweet but not sacharine feel. Axel Sheffler is now our favorite illustrator. Check out his other books -- Juice the Pig. written by Martine Oborne You're a Hero, Daley B. written by Jon Blake Monkey Puzzle. written by Julia Donaldson -- if you love the Gruffalo, these are must-haves as well.

Summary: Outstanding Book
Comment: Wonderful story of an imaginative mouse who while taking a walk through the woods makes up a story about a animal he calls a Gruffalo , he makes up this animal to protect himself from the various predators (fox, owl, snake ) that want to eat him .He succeeds in frightening away the animals ,but than he meets the animal of his imagination a Gruffalo. Now he has a bigger problem the Gruffalo wants to eat him, so he tells the Gruffalo to walk behind him through the wooods and see how afraid the animals are of him (the mouse that is ). The Gruffalo of course doesn't believe that the animals could possibly be afraid of a mouse so he walks behind the mouse , and when the animals of the woods see the Gruffalo behind the mouse they runaway in fright and the Gruffalo believes that the mouse was telling the truth and runs away from the mouse himself. Very enjoyable for both parent and child. Wonderfully illustrated, I highly recommend the Gruffalo
