A second journey into the deep dark wood

The Gruffalo’s Child turns the warning from the first story into a woodland search: the Gruffalo’s daughter sets out to find the Big Bad Mouse she has heard about in her father’s stories. Along the way, she encounters a small mouse and a startling shadow, bringing questions of caution, curiosity and what counts as evidence into a compact picture-book adventure. Julia Donaldson’s rhyming text and Axel Scheffler’s illustrations carry the story, while the familiar setting and returning characters connect it to The Gruffalo. At 32 pages, it is a short sequel built around one journey and the mystery of the mouse’s reputation.
