The Gruffallo’s Child

He’s back! One of the cuddliest monsters ever returns with more songs, laughter and scary fun.The Gruffalo said that no Gruffalo should ever set foot in the deep dark wood. But one wild and windy night the Gruffalo’s Child ignores her father’s warning and tiptoes out into the snow covered woods discover if the 'big bad mouse', which is the only thing her father is afraid of, really exist.

Throughout her journey, she encounters the snake, the owl, and the fox, each of whom tell her where she can find the big bad mouse. Eventually, believing she has been tricked, she gives up, saying that she doesn't believe in the 'big bad mouse'. Then it finally appears.

In this typical 'brains over brawn' plot we follows a storyline and rhyming pattern similar to its predecessor, The Gruffallo’s. It utilizes a Winter setting in order to make use of animal tracks in the snow, allowing the Gruffalo's daughter to encounter the other animals.
