Gruffalo Mouse 7 inch, White/Brown

Product Information

Picking up this chunky wooden toy mouse and making it interact with other wooden animals will develop your child's tripod grip, motor skills and coordination too. The mouse in comparison looks threatened, [39] but the humorous grin of the Gruffalo—who looks directly at the audience rather than the mouse—alongside the playfulness of the text implies that the creature is less scary than he appears. The first syllable in the name— gruff—is shared with the other children's literary characters of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. The book has been adapted into a 30 minute animated film, [56] which was broadcast on BBC One in the UK on 25 December 2009.

It is intended to be read aloud as it is written for a target audience of children who do not know or are learning how to read. An exclusive set of cut-out panels featuring characters from the much loved book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. This 7" Mouse is inspired by the hugely popular Gruffalo books written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.
