Review of 'The Gruffalo' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
One of my kids' favorites. But it is even better in the Dutch translation. The alliteration and rhymes work better in that language than in English.

Just what is the Gruffalo? "He has terrible tusks, and terrible claws, and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws."
But do all those things make him the scariest creature in the deep dark wood? One brave little mouse wiht a big imagination doesn't think so! (front flap)
One of my kids' favorites. But it is even better in the Dutch translation. The alliteration and rhymes work better in that language than in English.
