Just what is the Gruffalo? He has terrible tusks... and terrible claws... and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws. But do all those things make him the scariest creature in the deep dark wood? One brave little mouse with a big imagination doesn't think so! When Mouse takes a stroll through the woods, he meets a fox, an owl, and a snake who all want to eat him. So clever Mouse scares them off by warning them about the gruffalo who lives in the forest, a monster with terrible teeth and terrible claws. But what happens when Mouse's invented monster turns out to be real? The Gruffalo is an international best-selling and award-winning sensation with over 13.5 million copies in print worldwide. It has been made into an Oscar-nominated animated film as well as a stage musical that was performed on Broadway, and was voted England's favorite bedtime story.

"I don't believe in the big bad mouse..." One night, the Gruffalo's child wanders into the woods to search for the Big Bad Mouse. Instead, she comes upon a small mouse in the woods... and decides to eat him! But wait, what is that? A shadow of a very large, scary creature falls on the ground, and suddenly the Gruffalo's child is frightened. Could it be the Big Bad Mouse after all? 'The Gruffalo's Child' (2004) is the Number One best-selling, much-loved sequel to the worldwide picture-book phenomenon that is 'The Gruffalo' (1999), and the continuation of The Gruffalo Series. Julia Donaldson's trademark rhyming text and Axel Scheffler's brilliant, characterful illustrations combine once more to ensure that the Gruffalo's child has followed firmly in her father's footsteps, and that her story is one that children will ask for again and again...and again!

I was delighted when Axel came on board, and am even more so now that I've seen the brilliant sketches he's already done for the new book."
