The Gruffalo

I had never read this before buying. I loved the story and think this will be a wonderful addition to my children's book collection.

Such a cute story.

I recommend this book to everyone! I've read it to my students and my own children and all of them have loved it!

Fun, Smart, Well-Written, and Has a Great Message/Lesson I've read my 19-month-old daughter 2-5 books a day and this one was by far one of her favorites. She has become a fan of longer, more complex stories and the Gruffalo has become a wonderfully fun, smart, well-written, and well-loved addition to our book collection alongside Pete the Cat! My daughter requests this over and over again...which is great because every re-reading or re-telling is rich and vibrant, with a great message and lesson at the end as well as fun little easter eggs to find on every page. Very fun, would buy this again!

This is one of my 3 yo son’s favorite books! I picked this for a story time at daycare and it is one of our most read books. It’s a very cute rhyming story with beautiful illustrations. One of our regulars for bedtime book time. He loves it so much that we even got the Gruffalo Tonie too!

We loved this book

Great book!

Cute book I read to my grandsons 4th grade class they all listened intently and seemed to enjoy it

This is a fun book for parents and older siblings to read to their younger siblings

My 2 year old daughter loves to hear the story and see the Gruffalo pictures. She loved it!

It is high quality

Tolles Buch, meine Kinder sind begeistert! Der Grüffelo ist bei uns zuhause inzwischen ein absoluter Klassiker. Die Reime sind humorvoll, rhythmisch und machen beim Vorlesen richtig Spaß – selbst nach dem zehnten Mal. Die Geschichte ist spannend, aber gleichzeitig nicht zu gruselig, sodass auch jüngere Kinder gut folgen können. Besonders gefällt mir, wie clever die kleine Maus ist und wie sie mit Mut und Fantasie jedes größere Tier austrickst. Die Illustrationen sind liebevoll und detailreich, sodass meine Kinder immer wieder neue Kleinigkeiten entdecken. Auch die Botschaft des Buches – dass man mit Köpfchen oft weiterkommt als mit Stärke – finde ich sehr schön. Insgesamt ein wunderbares Kinderbuch, das wir uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen können.

Axel Scheffler’s illustrations are charming, colourful, and full of personality, bringing the woodland creatures to life in a way that instantly captures young imaginations. It’s no wonder this book has become a staple on every child’s bookshelf—perfect for bedtime stories or classroom reading. Pros: • Engaging, rhythmic storytelling that’s fun to read aloud • Beautiful, vibrant illustrations • Encourages imagination and problem-solving • Appeals to children and adults alike Cons: • None—it’s a must-have!
