This is an odd choice。 The Gruffalo has a child， and he tells her about the big scary mouse in the woods。 The child sneaks out at night and meets the other animal from the first book， who are still afraid of the mouse。 Then little Gruffalo meets the mouse， who's not big or scary， so she decides to eat him。 So the mouse tricks her， scaring her， and sending her home。 Told in rhyme。 I mean， who are we rooting for？ This is an odd choice。 The Gruffalo has a child， and he tells her about the big scary mouse in the woods。 The child sneaks out at night and meets the other animal from the first book， who are still afraid of the mouse。 Then little Gruffalo meets the mouse， who's not big or scary， so she decides to eat him。 So the mouse tricks her， scaring her， and sending her home。 Told in rhyme。 I mean， who are we rooting for？ 。。。more

This book， while still an interesting story， doesn't quite have the same ability to capture my daughter's interest like the original does。 Having said that， the illustrations have some charming details， like the mouse making a snow-gruffalo， and the gruffalo's child doing a cave painting of the big bad mouse。 This book， while still an interesting story， doesn't quite have the same ability to capture my daughter's interest like the original does。 Having said that， the illustrations have some charming details， like the mouse making a snow-gruffalo， and the gruffalo's child doing a cave painting of the big bad mouse。 。。。more

I actually preferred the Gruffalo's Child to the Gruffalo。 As ever， Julia Donaldson's rhymes and verse are spot on， the mouse teaches that important lesson of brain over brawn， but it's the Gruffalo's child who warms my heart。 She's so curious， she's heard tales of the Big Bad Mouse and wants to know if the stories are true。 Is there a monster lurking in the woods？ There's something about the monster searching for a monster that's quite satisfying。 I actually preferred the Gruffalo's Child to the Gruffalo。 As ever， Julia Donaldson's rhymes and verse are spot on， the mouse teaches that important lesson of brain over brawn， but it's the Gruffalo's child who warms my heart。 She's so curious， she's heard tales of the Big Bad Mouse and wants to know if the stories are true。 Is there a monster lurking in the woods？ There's something about the monster searching for a monster that's quite satisfying。 。。。more

Thanks to this book I became the Gruffalo and my son the little Gruffalo （in spanish， Gruffalito）。 I am only going to say that。Special Note: If you have the possibility， read The Gruffalo first （not this， the original book） to any child （your son， nephew， or any child with whom you want to share a moment full of smiles reading with passion）。 After a few days， read this one。 Then tell me。

Easy， entertaining read and amazing illustrations but difficult to read as a bedtime story as some pages black text on darker colour background which is more difficult to read with just a nightlight。

بابا گروفالو به بچه‌اش گفت : هیچ گروفالویی نباید پایش را توی دل جنگل تاریک بگذارد 。 اما در یک شب طوفانی بچه‌ ی گروفالو به هشدارهای پدرش گوش نکرد و پاورچین پاورچین از غار بیرون رفت 。 با این همه واقعا موش گنده‌ی بدجنس واقعا وجود داشت یا نه ؟ 。。。

Less successful than the original。

Such a clever sequel。

Donaldson and Scheffler bring the Gruffalo， the mouse， the owl， the fox， and the snake to the next generation with this winter tale！ It's a journey about independence and overcoming fear， and it will be an enjoyable read for grownups and kids who love the original。 My 4-year-old especially likes the moon-lit shadow and the footprints in the snow！ Donaldson and Scheffler bring the Gruffalo， the mouse， the owl， the fox， and the snake to the next generation with this winter tale！ It's a journey about independence and overcoming fear， and it will be an enjoyable read for grownups and kids who love the original。 My 4-year-old especially likes the moon-lit shadow and the footprints in the snow！ 。。。more

Another piece of children's literature， accompanied by a firm slice of Gruffalo。Similarly to the first book， it's built on storytelling。 We see the story this time from the perspective of the Gruffalo and he is telling his daughter about the mouse that scared him in the original story， but he can't remember it very well。The messages of this book are even more mixed than the first one， it had me for the duration， but it lost me right at the end。 I do agree with the idea that， you shouldn't always Another piece of children's literature， accompanied by a firm slice of Gruffalo。Similarly to the first book， it's built on storytelling。 We see the story this time from the perspective of the Gruffalo and he is telling his daughter about the mouse that scared him in the original story， but he can't remember it very well。The messages of this book are even more mixed than the first one， it had me for the duration， but it lost me right at the end。 I do agree with the idea that， you shouldn't always listen to what people have to say， because they could be wrong and the Gruffalo is almost certainly a boomer， based on this story。 Having said that though， having the mouse basically "win" again and have the daughter be scared back into their parents arms， after being so brave for the entirety of the story？ I'm just not buying it， it doesn't seem legit to me。 I do think it's better than the original story， but not by much and I don't think I'd necessarily recommend either of them as essential reading for young children。 。。。more

I read the Gruffalo and the animals didn’t know about the Gruffalo。 It was incredible。
