It is funny. Poor mouse

A mouse talks about the Gruffalo to 3 different animals.

A recommended read for 5-7 year olds, with exciting and detailed description of the gruffalo. But, is the gruffalo as scary as the big bad mouse?

There is one thing I don’t like about it A mouse lies in it. And I like it because someone saves him self from being eaten.

I love all the characters and doing all the different voices with my mummy.

I really liked this book because it was very funny! The little mouse is so brave. My favourite part is when he tricks the different animals with his imagination. I liked the little mouse best. He is tiny, but he is the smartest person in the whole book. Yes, I would definitely recommend this book to my friends. The Gruffalo is not really as scary as he looks!

I thought the mouse was very clever, and I liked the ending.

It's a fiction book, my favorite character is the mouse. Everyone is scared of the mouse because he keeps saying his favorite food is the animals, I think it's funny. and the Gruffalo is also scared of the mouse. I would recommend.
