A rhyming, reimagining of a Chinese folk tale about a fox that borrows the terror of a tiger, The Gruffalo tells the story of a bold little mouse, strolling alone in the dark wood, coming face to face with predators of all kinds, but none as scary as the hungry Gruffalo. No match for the Gruffalo’s size, speed and power, the mouse uses a cunning ploy to turn the tables and secure the upper the hand. A fun, whimsical book for all ages, the Gruffalo is a modern classic.
