A big hit for young Gruffalo fans

Our daughter absolutely loves this, my wife and I always have the pleasure of listening to this in the car as she falls asleep to it.

Loved by all the family

There is nothing I don’t like about this audiobook. Great value for the one credit used. Excellent reading, the accompanying music is great too, and my 3yr old cannot get enough of it. A clear recommendation for anyone that liked JD books and also needs to keep a toddler entertained.

Great but not for bedtime!

Bought this audiobook to play at bedtime. It's great but lively and there are a couple of songs thrown in... definitely not relaxing 😂 we'll get lots of enjoyment out of it in the daytime instead!

Review

If going to rhyme once than rhyme again at least a few more times and don’t have flash backs because they get confused

Great for bedtime together

We loved this and have downloaded more. My partner is away, we have this on Alexa, my 7yr old reads along the book in his head and my 4yr old and I look and whisper about the pictures in the book. Lovely time before sleep.

Awesome but maybe not for bedtime

Love these stories but with all the music and sound effects it might be a bit stimulating for bedtime if you're looking to wind them down. Also, when I read it, my Gruffalo had a Cornish accent and my mouse is more sassy than shrieky but I still reckon they read it pretty good.

Classic stories that will keep little listeners wanting more!

My son absolutely loves The Gruffalo and this narration doesn't disappoint. Exactly how children's stories should be read, this is brilliant for bedtime with other stories that follow. I would absolutely recommend this version of the audiobook.
