'Set to be another classic... a sure-fire hit.'- The Huffington Post
It's impossible to imagine a time before every child's bookcase contained a sticky-finger-marked,lovingly well-read copy of The Gruffalo,so great has been the impact of former Children's Laureate,author,poet and song-writer Julia Donaldson. Her extraordinary imagination has produced classics such as Stick Man and Room on the Broom amongst many others,making her undoubtedly the most popular author for very young children writing today.
