Publisher's Summary

A mouse is taking a stroll through the deep, dark woods when along comes a hungry fox, then an owl, and then a snake. The mouse is good enough to eat, but smart enough to know this - so he invents...the gruffalo! As Mouse explains, the gruffalo is a creature with terrible claws, terrible tusks in its terrible jaws, knobbly knees and turned-out toes, and a poisonous wart at the end of its nose. But Mouse has no worries. After all, there's no such thing as a gruffalo...is there?

Listen to the sequel, Gruffalo's Child.

    "It's great!"
    Would you listen to The Gruffalo again? Why?

    Yes. My five-year-old asks that we listen to it nearly every night.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The little mouse is so clever.


    What about Hal Hollings’s performance did you like?

    Nicely read. Pleasant to listen to.


    Any additional comments?

    The audio book is best if you are already familiar with the story or the short-film. Not a lot of descripiton in the narration, itself. Buy the book, supplement with the audio.

    Story
    "Clever story, fun performance."

    This is a clever story about a clever little mouse that my kids (3 and 5) love. I don't think the 3-yeard old would get it (without having seen the book) if she hadn't seen an animated version prior, but she'd probably still stay tuned the entire time because of the performance. The narrator does different voices for all of the animals- super fun!

    I recommend this book.

    Story
    "Great story, Not how I would have read it."
    What made the experience of listening to The Gruffalo the most enjoyable?

    The kids and I love this story. Simply fantastic. I read it a bit differently and like to accent the rhythm and rhyme to make it fun for the kids. This reading is a bit more static. Overall still very good.
