THE GRUFFALO

Is anyone out there a Gruffalo fan?

I saw an item on the BBC news yesterday about this Children's book. It said that the word 'Gruffalo' was chosen because it rhymed in a way that 'Tiger' did not.

The News Presenter then made up a little rhyme.

This is a variation of the Ugly Duckling story.

I prefer The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I read it every day to keep my brain active.
