The Gruffalo

Both my boys love this book! My eldest aged 4 has been reading it for a while and knows the words. It has really helped his reading confidence

I started reading the gruffalo to my daughter when she was 1, she's now 2 1/2 & it's still 1 of the favourites, in fact it's been read so much she reads what she can remember to her 18mth old brother.

The Gruffalo is my oldest son's favourite book, he loves me doing the different voices & even does them himself now. A fab book to share

Eva is only 11 months old but Eva loves this story. She gets excited when she comes across the different animals. We have read the story to her a number of times but she still brings it back to us time after time to re read. I love Julia Donaldson stories they are all fantastic and easy to read and the rhyming makes them easy to remember. I am a supply teacher and even junior children love The Gruffalo and other stories by Julia Donaldson.

I love Julia Donaldson's books! They are illustrated beautifully and are lovely books to share at bedtime. The Gruffalo is one of our favourite books at home & my son always smiles & coos to the pictures.

I shared this book with my godson when he was younger, and ended up knowing it off by heart! I bought the board book version for my son as his first book, and love reading it after his bath, complete with the different voices for the snake, owl, fox etc.

All the children I look after love this book so much it's always top of the list when I ask them to choose a story for me to read, from babies to 8 year olds they never get fed up of it and always join in.

My daughter had this book when she was 2 & still enjoys it now aged 4. We also have the Gruffalo memory game which she loves playing & reciting lines from the book which are included. The story has a lovely rhythm to it & is really well illustrated.

An instant hit in our house. Matthew refers to this book as "teeth" (Terrible Teeth in his terrible jaws).

Mummy often recites to him when out and about and we play game together pointing at different parts of our bodies that correspond with Julia's rhyme such as knobbly knees or turned out toes

... we have a peg jigsaw of the gruffalo too and will go through the Gruffalo story as we complete the jigsaw

I have been reading this to my son for a while and now he is 4 months old he loves the different characters. He has started to laugh all the way through this book.

Adore this book my little one chooses this book as one of his bedtime books nearly every night and never gets bored of it. And got to admit I love it too.

We first read this book when he was 1and he got given it for his birthday. she is a amazing author and we now not only own her vast collection off books dvds but we also been to theater show and own three mouses as a direct result. Helped my sons speech and his understandin of creatures and what's make believe and not. Perfect family book as are all hers would also recommend zog by same author

Daniel is only 6 months old but we love reading this with him and trying to do all the different voices.

this book is fantastic: my son loves the book and loved watching on the bbc production of it. even in summer when we went for a walk in the wood he was re enacting the story looking under logs for snake etc

My 5 month old son loves this book, we have read it to him almost every day for the last 3months! I think it's the rhyming, we all love the gruffalo! Infact we love all Julia Donaldsons books! Fantastic x

We bought this book after it was televised at Christmas. I love doing the different voices. My son loves anything that is remotely scary.

This is an engaging story of a clever little mouse. My toddler loves reading the Gruffalo!

Fraser loves this story and we read it to him over and over. He loves Room on the broom too. He even joins in with the story he's been read them so much!

This book is great and I think it is fab that the BBC made an animation of it- as a family this is a firm favourite!

Fantastic story! We also bought the touch & feel edition Matthew loves it!!

My Girls Love This Book (3 yrs & 2 yrs) and it's one of our favourites to read together!

My son not only loves this book because it rhymes but even finishes the sentences.Great characters

My son loves the book, loves the cartoon. Just a fantastic story.

I have been reading this book to my son since he was very tiny. Seems to love it. It's had lovely pictures and a poem/ rhyme throughout. Of course every story needs a monster! I see this in being a favourite in the future.

A fantastic book - it is just as wonderful now reading it to my daughter as it was when my mum read it to me.

This was a present for Rufus' first Christmas from his big sister when he was just a week old. We have read it to him most nights since then and now, at almost 18 months old it is definately one of his favourite books along with The Gruffalo's Child. It was particularly amusing when Rufus began sounding out "Oh help, oh no, it's a Gruffalo" at around 9 months :0) I would highly recommend this book for any child.

A definite favourite in our house... my son was bought this when he was born and it's been read 100's of times... never gets boring!

my boys enjoy this book they know most of the words.

When my daughter was younger this book scared her, but its now a firm favourite in our house, along with The Gruffalos Child xx

We thouroughly enjoyed this very descriptive book, and the very clever mouse who managed to outwit all the other animals. We just loved the end when mouse settles down to have his snack. Love the way the story rhymes

My daughter loves reading this story.

We love reading this book together.

my daughter loves this book she reads along to it and when ever we go pass lots of trees she starts telling the story

My little girl loves this book and its such fun to read!!

My son loves this book to read time and time again, a truly great book for all ages.

we all enjoyed this book every night for a month

my three year old knows this word for word and loves every minute of it. It's a wonderful book

All my Children have fallen in love with this book

my daughter loves the guffalo book

Wonderful book bought for my son when he was born. We try and act out the animals for our son to get his attention more which he seems to like.

My two and three year olds love the Gruffalo. They always laugh when I use different voices and I always end reading it five times, if not more. Love the pictures and the way it rhymes. One we will always treasure.

A truly wonderful book – my 18 month old regularly chooses this one from the shelf. It is amusing to read for both her and myself with lovely illustrations. Everyone should have a copy of this story.

My 3 and 2-year-olds sons love this book – both of them can sit and tell you the story word for word...it makes me smile to see them really enjoy reading

My son is only 7 months old - but already adores the wonderful rhymes within the story. I get equal pleasure from the lovely story and wonderful illustration. I know this will be a book that we continue to read together for many years.

We first read this book when the Gruffalo was part of Red Nose Day. We have since enjoyed making masks and various other activities. My son turns the pages too quick for me to read the full story though!!

My one year old daughter absolutely loves this rhyming book, and especially likes it when we get to the Gruffalo's nose and she points to her own! The pictures are very colorful and encourage interaction.

A rare book that is enjoyed by both child and adult.

This Is One Of My 4 Year Old Daughters Favorite Books And Knows It Off By Heart she Likes To Join IN When We Read It

My son loves this book he has had it read to him so many times he can finish off most of the sentances.

Kids love this book would read to all ages. And as a follow up there are the other books in the seires like smartest giant in town etc

This is a favourite bedtime story, we have a little plush Gruffalo and my daughter loves to cuddle and play with it as we read the story. I love to do the different voices and my daughter can recite a lot of the book having been listening to it for over a year. She's now 3 and often recites parts during imaginitve play. We love the illustrations and the rhyimg aspects of the book. Julia Donaldson is a firm favourite in our house :)

enoch likes this book very much

I loved reading this book to the children at the nursery I work in. So I had to get it to read to my daughter, she loves the pictures & listening to mummy do all the different voices of all the different animals.

My son loves this book, we put on voices and he gets really involved with it

This is my sons favourite book and my partner loves reading it to him, adding growls! They both love it. A must buy.

I may love this book more than my child!!! Its a wonderful story and we thoroughly enjoy it every time

My little boy loves this book, and I have read it to him so many times that I know if of heart. He just has to hear the words, 'A mouse took a stroll through the deep dark wood' and he starts smiling. Its a really good book I love it almost as much as he does, every child should have this book in their collection.

I think this is a bit old for my 21 month old - i love it but he gets a bit bored halfway through. we will persevere though.

My 2 year old daughter loves this story and the pictures are great for her to look at.

excellent read for all ages :)

My 22month old loves this book. She calls the Gruffalo- Griffyo! Fantastic pictures, she insists we read it at least once a day

We borrowed the Gruffalo from the library because it had sound buttons and my son loved pressing and laughing at the funny noises. Great book.

"Oh help! Oh no! it's a Gruffalo!" followed by screams of delighted laughter as we run round the house..! My little one has had this book since he was 18 months (now almost 4) and still loves it, and never tires of the story. When we drive or walk past woods we always talk about whether the Gruffalo lives in there, "I'm sure I saw him - did you? - are you sure he had purple prickles?" - or whether the Owl lives by a river we pass etc...

Currently my daughter's favourite book and she makes sure that I read it every night.

I love reading this to my daughter, she was very young (about 3 months old) when i first started reading this book to her and she is now nearly 10 months and still loves me reading it to her.

This is THE book in our house! We must read this 3 or 4 times a week, our little boy never tires of it! It's such a cute story

My son recieved this book for his 1st birthday, and ever since then has been a favourite, the rhyming and wonderful illustrations keep him hooked, a wonderful book to share with children of preschool/toddler age and parents will love it too :)

Fantastic book. I have been reading this book to my little one ever since he was 6 months. Now he is 1 year old, he knows the whole story, smiling every time you say a a piece of the story :)

My son loves the book so much. He likes to copy the sound of Gruffalo and all other character on the book.
