Critics Review
-
A variation on the relationship between the canny mouse and the gentle but huge and ugly Gruffalo, so deliciously played out in The Gruffalo, is wittily recreated in this welcome encore.
The Guardian
-
The Gruffalo’s Child achieves the impossible - an even more endearing, witty and delightful book than its parent.
