The Gruffalo
Book • 1999
In this award-winning picture book, a mouse takes a walk through the deep, dark wood and encounters a fox, an owl, and a snake, each of whom wants to eat him.
The mouse cleverly scares them off by describing a fictional creature called the Gruffalo, which has 'terrible tusks, terrible claws, and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws.
' However, the mouse soon finds himself face to face with a real Gruffalo, but he uses his wit to outsmart the creature and save himself.
The book is known for its rhyming text, engaging storyline, and iconic illustrations by Axel Scheffler.
