The Gruffalo's Child is the sequel to The Gruffalo, a now very famous and favourite children's book which the other day won the BBC Radio 2 Best Bedtime Story award. The Gruffalo books are written by the highly talented children's author Julia Donaldson and illustrated by the equally brilliant Alex Scheffler. The Gruffalo's Child features our friend the Mouse, the Gruffalo and a new addition, the Gruffalo's child.

The Gruffalo's Child is a sequel to the popular Julia Donaldson book The Gruffalo. We got our copy as part of a special value pack of children's picture books from Bananas.co.uk, though Amazon have it available individually at the reasonable price of £3.30.

The Gruffalo's Child is a sequel to the book The Gruffalo. I bought this book for my two-year old son as he loves The Gruffalo so much. The book itself is in the same style as the original book The Gruffalo. The story rhymes which makes it very easy to read and the illustrations are beautiful and very detailed. The writing is nice and clear and should be easy for my son to read when he starts reading. At the moment he just loves listening to the story, pointing out all the different animals and making all the different animal noises. The story follows on from The Gruffalo and probably wouldn't make as much sense to someone who hadn't read the ...  Read the complete review

For anyone wondering what had become of the Gruffalo since the the last book (The Gruffalo), when this is the book for you! Again writen by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, this sequel focuses on the Gruffalo's young child, and how she goes into the deep, dark woods in search of the big, bad mouse which terrorised her father in the previous book.
