“A mouse took a stroll in the deep dark wood
A fox saw the mouse and the mouse looked good."
The little mouse in question encounters a host of predators who seem to think he might make a tasty treat as he ventures deeper into the deep dark wood. Among the aimals he meets are a hungry fox, a not-so-wise owl, and a sinister snake. As he goes along he tells the animals about the super scary Gruffalo.
It is officially The Gruffalo's 15th birthday this year (having been published in 1999) so it has been portrayed in many ways, a tv cartoon, theater shows, toys, games, activity books and wood statues in the forests around the UK. We went on a couple of these walks, the not so great Sherwood Pines and the fantastic Thorndon Country Park.
