The Gruffalo is a story about a little mouse who is trying to avoid being eaten. As he walks in the woods, he encounters a fox, an owl, and a snake and he tells each of them that he is a meeting a Gruffalo. Along with telling them what a Gruffalo is, he tells them that the Gruffalo's favorite food is each animal he encountered. This scares all of the animals much to mouses delight. That is until mouse finds a Gruffalo, whose favorite food is mouse on toast. In order to save its own life, mouse tells the Gruffalo that all of the animals are afraid of the mouse. As they walk in the forest all of the animals are afraid, but not because of the mouse. The Gruffalo is scared off, and mouse is safe at last. I believe that this would be a good read-aloud story for a classroom.

We've been reading this non-stop since Christmas. This is a book every family should have in their house. We all love it! Maia and Maxim have been reading along.

A mouse took a stroll in the deep dark wood.
A fox saw the mouse, and the mouse looked good.
