Review: A Modern Classic That Every Child Should Own - The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler is a timeless children’s classic that never loses its magic. The story of the clever little mouse outwitting his predators with the myth of the Gruffalo is both funny and smart, teaching children about courage, creativity, and quick thinking. The rhyming text flows beautifully, making it a joy to read aloud—parents will love it just as much as kids do. Axel Scheffler’s illustrations are charming, colourful, and full of personality, bringing the woodland creatures to life in a way that instantly captures young imaginations. It’s no wonder this book has become a staple on every child’s bookshelf—perfect for bedtime stories or classroom reading. Pros: • Engaging, rhythmic storytelling that’s fun to read aloud • Beautiful, vibrant illustrations • Encourages imagination and problem-solving • Appeals to children and adults alike Cons: • None—it’s a must-have! Overall: 5/5 – A wonderfully written and illustrated classic that delights children of all ages. A true essential for every home library
Review: Thoroughly recommend this book - Good sturdy book- I chose this option for durability. The rhyming text and story is very appealing to the reader as well as the child it is being read to. The rhyming text also encourages the child to fill in the blanks so to speak which is great for memory and vocabulary, also gives the child a sense of chosen they finish the sentence! I expect this will be a favourite and much requested storybook. Happy to recommend for young children
