A clever mouse outsmarts his predators by telling them his good friend the gruffalo – “a creature with terrible claws, and terrible tusks in his terrible jaws” – will eat them. When the imaginary monster actually appears, the mouse manages to outsmart him as well. This humorous, rhyming story is complemented by charming watercolor illustrations.
Julia Donaldson is the bestselling author of many books for children, including One Ted Falls Out of Bed, The Gruffalo, and The Giants and the Joneses. She splits her time between England and Scotland with her family.
