Deep in the snowy winter woods, the Gruffalo's Child is feeling brave and a little bit stubborn. Her father has warned her time and time again never to venture out alone, telling terrifying stories about the legendary Big Bad Mouse who roams the forest. But when her father falls asleep, curiosity takes over. She slips out of their cave into the freezing night, determined to prove that the terrifying creature is just a myth. As she follows mysterious tracks in the snow and encounters different woodland animals, she begins to wonder if her father was actually telling the truth. Bundle up and follow along on a brilliant, snowy adventure as one small monster sets out to discover exactly what is hiding in the dark woods.

Take a stroll through the deep, dark wood with a mouse who is much smarter than he looks. When three hungry predators approach and try to invite the mouse over for a suspicious meal, he has to think fast to avoid becoming their dinner. To scare them off, the mouse invents a terrifying imaginary monster called a Gruffalo, complete with terrible tusks, terrible claws, and a poisonous wart on the end of his nose. His clever trick works perfectly, until the mouse turns around and bumps into the very creature he thought he just made up. Explore this interactive edition of the classic story, lifting flaps and pulling tabs to see how one tiny mouse uses his wits to outsmart the scariest beast in the forest.
