All time classic, I have read and reread it with my son, together with The Gruffalo's Child, so many times, I know it by heart. Any Julia Donaldson's book is a pleasure for both children and their parents.

I mean, it's The Gruffalo. Like, the possible BEST children's book of this day and age. Take the rhyming for example. Simply incredible! And the plot is pretty good too. So, what's not to like?

I have this book at home now as it is one of my favourite. The mouse is very clever and I like it when the gruffalo doesn’t want to get eaten and runs away.

I really liked this book. Smaller children might find it a little scary. I enjoyed reading it and the ending was good.

I love the Gruffalo and the mouse. I like how the mouse manages fear and is so brave and creative.

I thought The Gruffalo book was good because there was animals in it and it was a really, really good book. I liked the story because of the rhyming.

I like this book becuase I went on a Gruffalo trail and Mummy read it to me when we was walking and then I read it to her when we went to bed. The mouse doesn't believe the gruffalo but it is real.
