The Gruffalo said that no gruffalo should
Ever set foot in the deep dark wood.
The children have loved sharing our most recent Julia Donaldson book - this is how Aisha described what the story was about . . .
"The Gruffalo Child tiptoed out of the cave to find the Big Bad Mouse and he found a kind mouse and then the Big Bad Mouse came in the moon and the shadow gave him fright!"
It was great fun joining in with the repetative text, and lots of the children predicted who the Gruffalo's Child was going to find hiding each time she thought it might be the Big Bad Mouse leaving a trail in the snow.
Oliver BH told us "I liked the big Gruffalo and the moon - cause it made a shadow"
Finley said "Sometimes they go bigger and sometimes they go smaller (shadows). The moon is shining bright"
Cherry added "I liked the shadow cause it made a big shadow of the mouse"
Have a read of the story and let us know which your favourite part was - and why!
This is one of Williams favourite books he likes the bit where the mouse climbs on a twig and appears bigger because of his shadow. we lay on the bed and make shadow puppets with our hands. Jools
