Gruffalos Child Reviewer Image

Reviewed by , age Robert and Edward Baker

"I like this book.  It is good for boys like me because we can make pictures with the magnets and then jumble them up and do it again.  I like puzzles and mazes but little boys and girls would find it tricky.  I like the little story book, it is good in the car because it can go in my backpack.  You have to be careful with the magnets as they can fall out of the hole in the big book (cover).  I think it needs a bag to keep them safe.  I can teach my brother how to put the magnets in the right place as he is only three and he gets them mixed up so I show him how to do it properly.  It would be a good Christmas present because it has lots of snowy pictures in it." Robert Baker (5)

 

"This is a good book.  I like it because it has good songs.  I like doing the actions with my Mummy.  It is tricky to learn (them) but the pictures in the book show me how to do it.  I listen to the songs in my bedroom and in the car.  It is for big boys, not nursery rhymes.  Other big boys and girls will like this because it is good for singing and dancing.  It it not for babies.  I want to listen to it all the time." Edward Baker (3)

    My little boy requested his story over and over again. Me and his Dad had great fun doing all the voices to this story. This is pure joy, get your little one to snuggle up on your knee and look at you iin wonder with eye wide as you tell the story of the Gruffalo, and if your canny get someone to film there first time hearing it. I guarantee you it will be pure joy!
