About this listen

Read by Imelda Staunton, The Gruffalo's Child is the number one best-selling, much-loved sequel to the worldwide phenomenon that is The Gruffalo. This audiobook edition also includes a song and a read-along track.

The Gruffalo said that no gruffalo should
Ever set foot in the deep dark wood.

But one wild and windy night the Gruffalo's child disobeys her father's warnings and ventures out into the snow. After all, the Big Bad Mouse doesn't really exist...does he?

Perfect for listening to at home, in the car, at bedtime - or any time at all!

Another Julia Donaldson favorite!

As the Gruffalo books are such a hit with my two year old niece, I downloaded this audio book for her to listen to in the car. This sequel to "The Gruffalo" is an absolute winner...the words and story are so clever that even adults reading it for the first time are enthralled. My usually crazy-energetic niece sat quietly for 15 minutes with big eyes while she listened to it. We love the Gruffalo much that I've put together a Gruffalo puppet show based on this story and the first one to do at my niece's third birthday party!

Stopped a four year old's epic tantrum in it's tracks! Made for a perfect tantum-free car journey.

Wonderful childrens tale

My daughter requests to listen to this all the time, in the car and in bed. The narration by Imelda Staunton is brilliant at bringing out the story without the aid of the pictures.

My 2 year old loved it

This helped my 2 year old relax and fall asleep easier. She loves watching the gruffalo and trying to tell me about the big bad mouse with whiskers tougher than wire
