Julia Donaldson Quotes

“All was quiet in the deep dark wood. The mouse found a nut and the nut was good.”

“Where are you going to, little brown mouse?”

“Who is this creature with terrible claws and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws? He has knobbly knees and turned-out toes and a poisonous wart at the end of his nose. His eyes are orange, his tongue is black. He has prickles all over his back.”

“Here, by these rocks... and his favorite food is roasted fox.”

“On went the mouse through the deep dark wood. An owl saw the mouse and the mouse looked good.

“Oh help! Oh no! IT’S A GRUFFALO!!

“You see? Everyone is afraid of me! But now my tummy’s beginning to rumble, and my favorite food is- gruffalo crumble!”

“Doesn’t he know? There’s no such thing as a gruffalo!”

“His eyes are orange. His tongue is black. He has prickles all over his back.”

“Don’t call me good! I’m the scariest creature in this wood. Just walk behind me and soon you’ll see, everyone is afraid of me.”
