One usually considers picture books to be written for children but Julia Donaldson definitely, definitely must have had bored parents in mind when she wrote these delightful tales, The Gruffalo and the The Gruffalo's Child. The twists and turns are clever to say the least and the humour will have you all giggling away!
The Gruffalo is definitely my 3 year old's favourite book and he knows much of it off by heart! The movie has extended the story a bit but still holds true to the original!
Must look....good books, most libraries should have copies of these modern classics, but you can't beat having your own copy for daily use. It deals with facing one's fears and finding original solutions in a very clever way. It also brings home the point that some fears are are imagined not real.
