The Gruffalo was one of my favorite stories as a child and I had never read Jonty Gentoo till I got a copy for my child and I am blown away! I love this book so much and my child gets excited to look at all the illustrations! Would definitely recommend. I’ve ordered other books off amazon and been disappointed but this one is beautiful all around. Very happy!
