The Gruffalo (Paperback)

Starting at: RM32.90

The best-selling modern classic!

"A gruffalo? What's a gruffalo?"
"A gruffalo! Why, didn't you know? He has terrible tusks, and terrible claws, and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws."

And so begins the story of a quick-witted mouse as he encounters a host of predators who seem to think he might make a tasty treat. As he ventures deeper into the deep dark wood, stumbling across a hungry fox, a not-so-wise owl, and a slimy snake, spinning ever-extraordinary yarns about the scary, scaly gruffalo, he quickly realises that the hungry beast he has been talking of isn't imaginary after all.

A witty, sly little story that wrings giggles from the belly of the reader, The Gruffalo is both stylish and hilarious, simple in its execution, as it plays skilfully on a child's fears and then shows that even the most threatening of monsters are not always as scary as they seem.

Book Review

‘The Snail and the Whale and The Gruffalo, both by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, have given literally hours of pleasure to the whole family.’ JK Rowling.

‘The best kind of stories for the very young always involve appetite – the need to eat, and the fear of being eaten. Like The Tale of Peter Rabbit and Julia Donaldson’s The Gruffalo, this is an instant childhood classic, both for its innately pleasing variations on an eternal theme and for its utterly gorgeous paintings.’ Amanda Craig, The Times.

‘I love the fact that a tiny mouse outwits all other animals …I like cleverness and finding solutions instead of being defeated by problems.’ Quality World.
