The Gruffalo's Child by Julia Donaldson

"I don't believe in the big bad mouse..."

One night, the Gruffalo's child wanders into the woods to search for the Big Bad Mouse. Instead, she comes upon a small mouse in the woods... and decides to eat him!

But wait, what is that? A shadow of a very large, scary creature falls on the ground, and suddenly the Gruffalo's child is frightened. Could it be the Big Bad Mouse after all?

'The Gruffalo's Child' (2004) is the Number One best-selling, much-loved sequel to the worldwide picture-book phenomenon that is 'The Gruffalo' (1999), and the continuation of The Gruffalo Series. Julia Donaldson's trademark rhyming text and Axel Scheffler's brilliant, characterful illustrations combine once more to ensure that the Gruffalo's child has followed firmly in her father's footsteps, and that her story is one that children will ask for again and again...and again!
