The Gruffalo's Child 
asked by porsche on November 3, 2006 9:17 PM
One night the Gruffalo's child goes into the woods to find the Big Bad Mouse, a creature her father met years ago. After much searching, the child stumbles upon a little mouse . . . and decides to eat him. Suddenly a terrible shadow falls on the ground. Could it be the Big Bad Mouse? Or maybe the little mouse is bigger and badder than the Gruffalo's child thinks.
Like The Gruffalo, an international bestseller, this funny and suspenseful read-aloud reminds readers that sometimes the smallest among us are also the strongest.

This book is great as young children love it. There is lots to talk about and a nice story too. The riming isn't the best and could be told as well in normal story telling.

If you have a child that wants a book read over and over and over and over, then this is for you. A great book for your child AND a fun read for you as the adult. Great rythm and cadence.

I bought this book for my three-year old, Sean. It has rapidly become his favorite bedtime story. It has fun rhymes with a good meter and wonderful pictures. Sean also took it to daycare for show-and-tell where it was also a big hit. We like The Gruffalo's Child so much, we have ordered the book that preceded it, The Gruffalo.

In Oliver's (age 5 from England) words... "This book is cozy."
His mother asked, "What do you mean by that, Oliver?"
Oliver replies, "Well because it's cold and snowy for the Gruffaloe's child. I like to tuck into you or Daddy whilst it's read and then I don't feel the cold from the book. It's quite a scary story too because I think the Big Bad Mouse will suddenly appear but really he's only a teeny, tiny mouse that the moon makes big.
"It's fun because all the pages rhyme. The best bit goes Aha! Oho! trails in the snow and when you hear this, you know something will get found but it's not always the Big Bad Mouse. I like the Owl best because he's got big eyes peeping out of the tree trunk."
Armchair Interviews says: Oliver, at age five loves to read. We have learned that if Oliver recommends a book, it's a must read. And The Gruffalo's Child is no exception.
