The Gruffalo’s Child ignores her father’s warnings and sets out into the snow. However, what horrors await her there? This book is a sequel to The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. Summary of the Book The Gruffalo told his daughter not to go out into the snow. It was a cold, dark area with dangers unlike any the child could imagine. She could get lost, never to find her way back to its father. But the child didn’t listen to him. She was curious, like all children are, and she wanted to know why she couldn’t go out into the snow. She decides to explore the wilderness, ignoring the inherent dangers that could lurk there. After all, she thought to herself, there really can’t be such a monstrous creature called a Big Bad Mouse, could there?
