This is a marvellous, entertaining story which brilliantly
demonstrates how humour and metaphor can be so effective in
communicating important messages. During a walk through the dark
woods a little mouse frightens off various predators by pretending
to be on the way to meet a gruffalo. This fearsome beast has
awesome features - terrible tusks and teeth, orange eyes, purple
prickles, warts and knobbly knees - and its favourite food is,
variously, roasted fox, owl ice cream or scrambled snake. Of
course, it exists only in the mouse's imagination - or does it? In
a neat twist, when the mouse actually meets a gruffalo (whose
favourite food is really mouse sandwiches), it cleverly uses the
other predators to convince the creature that a mouse is pretty
scary, and its favourite food is...gruffalo crumble. Result: one
fleeing gruffalo; one contented mouse safe to walk in the woods. A
brilliant, funny book, written in flowing rhyme and imaginatively
illustrated, well-deserving of its 1999 Smarties Gold Award.
(Kirkus UK)
A rhyming story about a clever little mouse and a monster. When mouse goes for a walk in a dangerous forest, he invents tales of a fantastic creature called a Gruffalo to scare off his enemies. Imagine his surprise when he meets a real Gruffalo!
