One night the Gruffalo"s child goes into the woods to find the Big Bad Mouse, a creature her father met years ago. After much searching, the child stumbles upon a little mouse . . . and decides to eat him. Suddenly a terrible shadow falls on the ground. Could it be the Big Bad Mouse? Or maybe the little mouse is bigger and badder than the Gruffalo"s child thinks. Like The Gruffalo, an international bestseller, this funny and suspenseful read-aloud reminds readers that sometimes the smallest among us are also the strongest.
