The Gruffalo

by Julia Donaldson

"A mouse took a stroll through the deep dark wood.
A fox saw the mouse and the mouse looked good."

But the fox is the least of the quick-witted mouse's problems. He's about to come face to face with an owl, a snake and… Oh help! Oh no! A Gruffalo!

"A modern classic." - Observer

The Gruffalo's Child

by Julia Donaldson

"The Gruffalo said that no gruffalo should
Ever set foot in the deep dark wood."

But one wild and windy night the Gruffalo's child disobeys her father's warnings and ventures out into the snow. After all, the Big Bad Mouse doesn't really exist . . . does he?

The number one bestselling, much-loved sequel to The Gruffalo.
