 | The Gruffalo by Axel Scheffler, Julia Donaldson, Skip Skwarek
This rhythmic read-aloud par excellence follows a clever mouse on a walk through the deep dark wood, where he encounters several hungry inhabitants who want to make him their main course. Lacking size or strength as defenses, quick-witted Mouse instead taps the powers of his imagination to create the gruffalo, a terrible creature with terrible claws, and terrible tusks in his terrible jaws. But will Mouse's frightful description be enough to ruin the appetites of his determined foes? After all, there's no such thing as a gruffalo. Full color.
