Review: Fun, Smart, Well-Written, and Has a Great Message/Lesson - Fun, Smart, Well-Written, and Has a Great Message/Lesson I've read my 19-month-old daughter 2-5 books a day and this one was by far one of her favorites. She has become a fan of longer, more complex stories and the Gruffalo has become a wonderfully fun, smart, well-written, and well-loved addition to our book collection alongside Pete the Cat! My daughter requests this over and over again...which is great because every re-reading or re-telling is rich and vibrant, with a great message and lesson at the end as well as fun little easter eggs to find on every page. Very fun, would buy this again!
Review: Loved by kids and parents alike! - This is one of my 3 yo son’s favorite books! I picked this for a story time at daycare and it is one of our most read books. It’s a very cute rhyming story with beautiful illustrations. One of our regulars for bedtime book time. He loves it so much that we even got the Gruffalo Tonie too!
