""Most popular story we have""
This has been a firm favourite for some time now, firstly with my niece and nephew and now with my own little girl. The gentle rhyming throughout the story make it easy to read and fun to listen to. It is one of few books my 18mnth old will sit still all the way through. She enjoys it so much she even watches the DVD version with her bedtime drink some evenings!! A must buy book for anyone who hasn't already got this it simply lights up a childs eyes as they listen.

""Gruffalo""
Quite possibly the best childrens bedtime book ever. My daughter Holly is almost 2 and adores it. Fo Fo as she calls the Gruffalo. Simply Brilliant.

""Excellent!""
This is an absolutely excellent book for young children. They really get drawn in to the mouse's story... . Mouse scares off an owl, a snake and a fox that fancy mouse for lunch by telling them he's having lunch with a monstrous beast known as "The Gruffalo", who mouse thinks he invented. He then meets the Gruffalo who also fancies mouse for lunch! Mouse manages to persuade the Gruffalo that he (mouse) is scary by retracing his steps and meeting up with the fox, owl and snake who all run away from him. The Gruffalo decides that mouse must be really dangerous and when mouse says he fancies Gruffalo for lunch the Gruffalo runs away. The rhyming verse of this wonderful tail is a delight for parents and children alike. One of my son's absolute favourites!

"A perfect sequel"
I bought and read this book for my god daughter who's 11 months and she absolutely loved it... As did I!
It was lovely to see her face light up and point out all the little animals as i read it through.
Following on from the adventures of the mouse in the original Gruffalo book, this tells the story of the offspring of the Gruffalo, who's heard all about the 'Big Bad Mouse' and goes bravely to search for the creature, encountering other animals on the way.
Beautifully rhythmic with fabulous illustrations, this is a must have classic of the future surely?
Get this for your little one, it's fabulous!
