The Gruffalo's Child

We enjoyed the story of 'The Gruffalo' so much that we couldn't wait to find out what happened in the next book . . .  

In this story, the Gruffalo's Child ignores her father's warning and tiptoes out into the snow in search of the Big Bad Mouse!

The children had fun trying to predict who it was that the Gruffalo's Child might meet next as she followed the trails in the snow - and we looked for clues in the illustrations . . .

"It's the fox - it has whiskers and a tail - orange and white" (Harry R)

We talked about how the Gruffalo's Child might be feeling . . .

"I think the mouse is too big for the little Gruffalo - he's going to scare the Gruffalo and make a big shadow" (Gracie)

Ben G predicted what might happen next . . . 

"I think the mouse is going to make a big shadow with a nut on his shoulder"

Have you read this wonderful story yet? 
Was Ben correct in his prediction?

We enjoyed the story so much that we are going to read it again next week - but this time, with added sound effects - and with a little visitor!

We would love to hear what you thought of the story, let us know!
