  • Funny, quick, rhyming. I enjoy it as much as my daughter. It's a bit unpredictable too (the first time), which is nice. Sep 14, 2023

    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

    A must have book for fall! We read this book during the fall and then watch the Gruffalo movie. It is an awesome story for fans of Room on the Broom. Jul 26, 2020

  • We LOVE the Gruffalo. It's a good bedtime book and the DVD of the book is well done. Nov 20, 2019

  • My son loves this book. But can be a little long for longer kiddos. Jul 11, 2019

  • Must have Aug 27, 2014

  • A clever story about a clever mouse... Aug 01, 2014
