Bestselling sequel to the smash-hit picture book, The Gruffalo. In this classic board book format with a fresh cover design!
Julia Donaldson is the outrageously talented, prize-winning author
of the world's best-loved picture books, and was the 2011-2013 UK
Children's Laureate. Her books include Room on the Broom, What the
Ladybird Heard, What the Ladybird Heard Next and the modern classic
The Gruffalo, which has sold over 13.5 million copies worldwide and
has been translated into over seventy languages. Julia also writes
fiction as well as poems, plays and songs and her brilliant live
children's shows are always in demand. Julia and her husband
Malcolm divide their time between Sussex and Edinburgh.
Axel Scheffler is a star illustrator whose instantly recognisable,
warm and witty illustrations have achieved worldwide acclaim and
numerous awards. In addition to his picture books, Axel is the
illustrator of wonderful novelty and gift books for Macmillan, such
as the bestselling The Bedtime Bear, The Christmas Bear and Mother
Goose's Nursery Rhymes. He also illustrates the popular Pip and
Posy series. Born in Hamburg, Axel now lives with his family in
London.
A variation on the relationship between the canny mouse and the
gentle but huge and ugly Gruffalo, so deliciously played out in The
Gruffalo, is wittily recreated in this welcome encore.
*The Guardian*
The Gruffalo’s Child achieves the impossible - an even more
endearing, witty and delightful book than its parent.
