Written by Julia Donaldson & beautifully illustrated by Axel Scheffler, The Gruffalo has quickly become a fond favourite amongst kids. If your kids havent met the Gruffalo yet or theyve worn out their own copy from reading it too much, then this gift set is a great present. Containing both Gruffalo stories in a unique slipcase, its a great book for bedtime & for getting the little ones excited about reading. The Gruffalo is the tale of a small & quick thinking mouse, who after walking into a dark wood, warns off an owl & a snake by coming up with a Gruffalo creature to scare them away. But Gruffalos dont really exist do they? The Gruffalos Child is a story set on a snowy & windy night when the Gruffalos child ignores her fathers warnings not to go into the dark wood. Are the tales about the big bad mouse really true?
