"The Gruffalo's Child" is a sequel to the terribly successful "The Gruffalo". But it is a very clever sequel because it turns things on a head. This time instead of the mouse talking about the terrible features of the Gruffalo it is the Gruffalo who tells the tale of the big bad mouse. The Gruffalo's child then goes off not scared, meeting the characters from the original story all of who are here, before seeing the big bad mouse for himself.
Probably not as good as the original but still great and it has the excellent Axel Scheffler artwork to accompany the story.
