Such a fun rhyming story that my daughter likes to read around Halloween! It's not Halloween-themed, but she associates the monster with the holiday, so it's a great time to re-read. Feb 18, 2021

my son got afraid of this book when he was a bit younger. But now he's 2.5 and he loves this book Jul 30, 2015
Love the movie (on Netflix) and my son is obsessed with the book. There are a decent amount of words so getting him to read through the whole thing is more of a challenge. Feb 27, 2015

Love the rhymes and silly storyline about a mouse who pretends to have a scary friend, then be scary himself, so he doesn't get eaten. This is one of my favorites. Mar 12, 2022

Got this from a friend whose kids love it! My kids cried when we tried to read it the 1st few times! We put it aside for months & now they seem to like it. Not for babies, better for toddlers. Nov 23, 2021

A little mouse who escapes being eaten by other forest animals after describing the Gruffalo, later, only to discover his make believe creature is real! A must have. Adorable illustations. May 23, 2021

Fun story about a smart, fast thinking mouse. Teaching kids that even if you're small, you can do big things. Fun to do different voices for all the characters. Sep 24, 2018

I love the more complex rhyming books because you're going to be reading them over and over so they better be interesting. Our daughter says "toowhit-twhoo" for the owl sound because of this book May 29, 2017
