Illustrated by Axel Scheffler
5 stars
Another delightful story featuring the Gruffalo family.
Granny Gruffalo is coming for a visit. The Gruffalo and his daughter prepare mouse stew for her arrival. But once again, Mouse has a clever scheme to save himself from becoming dinner. Each night, he tells the Gruffalos a story, then slowly nibbles away at his cage while they sleep. Will he be able to escape before Granny Gruffalo arrives?
Such a fun story. I absolutely love that Mouse tells tales from Donaldson and Scheffler’s other books. Featured are the stories Room on the Broom, Where’s My Mom?, and The Snail and the Whale. A really fun layer added to the story.
There’s a bit of a twist at the end, which I enjoyed.
The artwork is wonderful, as to be expected.
A great read. Definitely recommend for fans of The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo’s Child. I am thrilled to have another book in the series.
