The Gruffalo!!!

Have you ever heard of a Gruffalo? No, I am not. What is a Gruffalo? The very name can attracts children to read the story of a Gruffalo. They must be eager to know what a Gruffalo is and how does it looks like. Even me, an adult, feels so eager to know what is a Gruffalo.

A mouse is on his way in the forest and meets many dangerous, hungry animals. With its tiny little body, the mouse will have to think of a way to save himself using his brain. So how does he escapefrom all the dangerous animals? He makes up a story of a Gruffalo, which is so scary that all the carnivorous animals run away. However, he at last meets with the real Gruffalo, and now will have to save himself from the scary Gruffalo. Does he manages to do so? Yes he does. Using his brain once again, he brings the Gruffalo along with him to meet with all th dangerous animals he met before. All the animals are very afraid of the Gruffalo and run away. The Gruffalo is clueless, so the mouse tells the Gruffalo that the animals run away because they are afraid of him.

This story is interesting because the book comes with many colourful illustrations and simple language for children. The character in the story also can teach children the important of being creative and smart, however, they need to remember that lying is not a good things to do. The Gruffalo is more than worth to be read. The moral value is priceless where strength can easily be defeated the power of the brain. Because it has simple plot structure, this story will help children to understand the story easily. In my opinion, this kind of story is very suitable for children.
