I also used these books to acquaint A&A about different body parts – physical appearance, colours and animals.ħ. I personally find these stories as apt to discuss with A&A about different emotions /feeling (scared, happy, surprised, etc).Ħ. Post reading the book, A&A often like to flip through its pages just to see the images and illustrations again.Ī&A also love these books for the gentle humour in the storyline. The scary Gruffalo doesn’t comes across as scary at all but a cute creature. Both the books are vividly illustrated, with colourful, realistic pictures done to suit the imagination of a child. The colourful illustrations by Axel Scheffler complement the words perfectly. encourage recognition and phonological awareness in kids. You just read the lines and the rhyme comes naturally. The language used is simple, rhythmical and naturally flowing. Both these books include spoken rhythm, i.e, song like quality of the words, which make these a joy to read aloud. There are a multitude of positive benefits of reading the Gruffalo stories to toddlers.ġ.
Pin it! Why We Love Reading These Two Books – The story repeats it’s moral of ‘ brains over brawn’ i.e mental acuity and wisdom surpasses physical power and strength.
The Gruffalo’s child flees away and returns to the Gruffalo cave with faith in her father restored. The tiny mouse recreates an enlarged, fearsome shadow by using moonlight and introduces it as the big bad mouse. She encounters the little mouse who invites her to meet the big bad mouse. The story is about the Gruffalo’s child (a daughter) who, despite her father’s warning, sets off into the deep dark woods to find the big bad mouse who tricked her father (The Gruffalo). The Gruffalo’s child is the sequel to The Gruffalo. The story gives the moral message of using one’s imagination, wisdom and brain power to protect oneself from predators. The tiny mouse with it’s cleverness, surpasses the Gruffalo too. Finally, he comes across Gruffalo- a monstrous creature. The mouse with his clever tricks evades danger. This book unveils the story of a mouse, walking through the woods and encountering several dangerous animals like a fox, an owl and a snake. These are best suited for kids between 3-7 years age. These books, which have won several prizes for children’s literature and have also been developed into plays and animated films, is an instant hit among kids. One book series which is A&A’s all time favourite is The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo’s Child by Julia Donaldson.
