From the creators of 'Room on the Broom' and designed for ages 3-7, here is the classic story which has become a bestselling phenomenon, an award winning rhyming story of a mouse and a monster. It has found its way into the hearts and bedtimes of an entire generation of children over the past 25 years and will continue to enchant children for years to come. 'A mouse took a stroll through the deep dark wood. A fox saw the mouse and the mouse looked good.' But the mouse was going to have lunch with the Gruffalo. 'He has terrible tusks, and terrible claws, and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws... and his favourite food is roasted fox. But there is no such thing as a Gruffalo!? Or is there? He has knobbly knees and turned-out toes and a poisonous wart at the end of his nose. His eyes are orange, his tongue is black. He has purple prickles all over his back. Oh help! Oh no! IT'S A GRUFFALO!' A gorgeous Penguin board book, very large sized all in colour.
