The Gruffalo's Child

32 pp. | Dial | January, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-3009-8 $16.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Axel Scheffler. The mouse who outwitted The Gruffalo now tricks the beast's child, who goes looking for the mouse despite her dad's warning that he's one fearsome rodent. Humorous illustrations depict the Gruffalo and his child as teddy-bear-like and work well with the pleasingly repetitive text in rhyme to create a story that, like its mouse hero, is clever rather than scary.
