The Gruffalo (The Gruffalo, 1)

I bought this for my son. The board book is sturdy and the prints are so clear. The price is also affordable for the quality. Since I have a prime shopping membership the book was delivered the next day itself. It's so fun to read it along with my son. He really enjoyed the images and the whole experience. It's a good thing to introduce books to your little ones instead of letting them watch the mobile phones all day. Planning to buy other books in the series as well!!

I am happy that I have chosen this book for my kids, the story line was very interesting and it stands out from many children stories. Big fan of Miss. Julia Donaldson. Her stories are classic ones.

The book came a little worn out but i didn't mind as I was interested in having a copy of the book in keeps

Tolles Buch, meine Kinder sind begeistert! Der Grüffelo ist bei uns zuhause inzwischen ein absoluter Klassiker. Die Reime sind humorvoll, rhythmisch und machen beim Vorlesen richtig Spaß – selbst nach dem zehnten Mal. Die Geschichte ist spannend, aber gleichzeitig nicht zu gruselig, sodass auch jüngere Kinder gut folgen können. Besonders gefällt mir, wie clever die kleine Maus ist und wie sie mit Mut und Fantasie jedes größere Tier austrickst. Die Illustrationen sind liebevoll und detailreich, sodass meine Kinder immer wieder neue Kleinigkeiten entdecken. Auch die Botschaft des Buches – dass man mit Köpfchen oft weiterkommt als mit Stärke – finde ich sehr schön. Insgesamt ein wunderbares Kinderbuch, das wir uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen können.

Bought it for my kid as one of the first books and she loved it.

The rhyming text flows beautifully, making it a joy to read aloud—parents will love it just as much as kids do. Axel Scheffler’s illustrations are charming, colourful, and full of personality, bringing the woodland creatures to life in a way that instantly captures young imaginations. It’s no wonder this book has become a staple on every child’s bookshelf—perfect for bedtime stories or classroom reading. Pros: • Engaging, rhythmic storytelling that’s fun to read aloud • Beautiful, vibrant illustrations • Encourages imagination and problem-solving • Appeals to children and adults alike Cons: • None—it’s a must-have! Overall: 5/5 – A wonderfully written and illustrated classic that delights children of all ages. A true essential for every home library

Fun, Smart, Well-Written, and Has a Great Message/Lesson I've read my 19-month-old daughter 2-5 books a day and this one was by far one of her favorites. She has become a fan of longer, more complex stories and the Gruffalo has become a wonderfully fun, smart, well-written, and well-loved addition to our book collection alongside Pete the Cat! My daughter requests this over and over again...which is great because every re-reading or re-telling is rich and vibrant, with a great message and lesson at the end as well as fun little easter eggs to find on every page. Very fun, would buy this again!

We came across this book in a park. It had been left by someone as a "Travelling Book", so we took it home to check it out. I read it to my daughter (19 months at the time) and she fell in love with it. She carried it around, flipping through the pages with excitement and "reading" it to us over and over. I explained that the book wasn't for keeping and that we would have to share it with someone else soon. She held it to her heart and shouted, "I LOVE this book!" with deep sincerity. Sooooo, I tracked one down online and bought it through Amazon. It's been months since we first found the book and she still loves it. She still "reads" it daily and gives it a kiss before putting it aside. As a parent, I think this is a great book. I love the art style and actually got a sense of nostalgia as some of the forest images brought back childhood memories of time spent in the Northern woods where I grew up. Also, it was a joy to find that the writing flows beautifully. Some rhyming books seem forced in places and you know the author struggled. This book has a natural flow and rhythm that is a delight to read aloud over and over and over ...
