The little mouse was smart. He used the Gruffalo as a way to show him that everyone was scared of him.
“But now my tummy‘s beginning to rumble. My favorite food is - gruffalo crumble!”
“but now my tummy is starting to rumble, and my favorite food is... gruffalo crumble!“
The pictures in this book are great because you are able to see all of the facial expressions of the animals as they are talking. it also shows what the animals are imagining when the mouse tells them the scary things about the gruffalo.
pickThe gruffalo is about a little mouse who scares off all of the woodland critters from eating them by telling them all that an imaginary animal called the gruffalo lurks in the woods and their favorite food is whatever animal mouse is talking too. It works, until the mouse runs into a real gruffalo! The mouse walks with the gruffalo to prove that all the animals are scared of mouse.

Today‘s #bookmail - the Magic Tree House was from Kellogg‘s Feeding Reading and the rest were the Amazon 3/2 sale. Funny story - the USPS misplaced my package somewhere between Shreveport and Bossier City (literally across a river). I filed a complaint, and magically, the same day I got a BS “general delays from COVID” response they “found” my package and delivered it (intact!). Coincidence, right?

pickIn honor of my Author Study! This cute F, PB is a great storytelling experience or RT. This book is about a mouse who maneuvers himself through the woods without being eaten by telling everyone he‘s meeting a “Gruffalo”. He made this creature up, or so he thinks. Teaching books.net offers a lesson plan to a dramatic reenactment and a visualizing activity that allows the students to draw what they think the Gruffalo looks like w/o the picture.
#gratefulreads and I'm using a very loose definition of 'movie' for my favourite book to movie choice.... Love the original books by Julia Donaldson.... So many amazing stories to read out loud and all of the animated versions produced by the BBC are amazing. Two extra favourites here.... Real Christmas Treats. Oh the animation of Lost and Found is beautiful too with a wonderful score.

pickWell, I finally managed to read these to the kiddo. We enjoyed them, despite my struggles. I offer my sincerest apologies to all Scots for my mangling of your language!
It seems I wasn‘t exactly paying attention at the library yesterday, because I had no idea these weren‘t the original books. I pulled one out for bedtime story last night and did a double take, then put it back and grabbed something easier. I just don‘t think I could pull it off at the end of the day, ya know?
The question is, why does my library have these? Lots of Cajun stories here, sure, but Scottish is new...
pickAdorable little books. Written in rhyme and in the form of the picture book, these books are great for children of all ages.

Our first story basket.... our son loved collecting all the props to the story and telling the story to his sister 😊
This is a wonderful one to read aloud and watch the mouse‘s cleverness play out and pay off. “Good said the mouse, don‘t call me good! I‘m the scariest creature in the Wood. Just walk behind me and soon you‘ll see, everyone is afraid of me.” #picturebooksatoz #bbrc
The world of kids books is totally new to me 😊 Fortunately Wes got a nice bunch of books to start his library. We dove into The Gruffalo today and I think he quite liked it!
pickThis was a great book to help parents to interact with small children and the the story is a sweet one, will a very smart mouse 😍😍😍😍😍
"Silly old owl, doesn't he know? There's no such thing as a Gruffalo!"
Such starts the story of a #Cunning little mouse who weaves a tale about a mythical creature called a Gruffalo to escape a deadly fate at the hands.... er, claws, jaws, and paws... of some scary animals. But silly mouse, doesn't HE know? There just might BE a Gruffalo!

I haven't posted for a long time because of the above. Or rather a really horrible pregnancy and birth that meant I was ill for 10 months. I'm back now. So what's new on Litsy?
I think the free bookmarks from Book Depository are just as exciting new books. 😊
Even Gruffalo‘s need to chat to security 😂😂😂 Day Three - Jaipur LitFest. I‘ve already managed to loose my pass and spent part of the morning having it reprinted but the staff were lovely and I‘m all set now. Quote of the day will probably remain “oh ma‘am, try not to loose it”. #goodadvice (Also good advice - try to remember what year it is? Have just realized I‘ve been tagging 2017 instead of 2018.... oh dear!). 😊😊😊
I'm minding my little granddaughter for the next 2 days. So I'll be reading the Gruffalo 😊#GrannysOfLitsy
pickThe Gruffalo -or- How to Raise a Bard 🎻😂 I'm bringing mouse on my next quest 🐭👿💰 babe's not quite ready to sit through all of this, but I'm sure it will eventually suck him in 📖✨ #babyreads #boardbook #dnd
A firm favourite with all the small people in my family. Read over and over and over again!
#welllovedreads #riotgrams
Hubby snapped this pic of me reading our latest #imaginationlibrary book to the babes last night. I can't believe we didn't already own this one. It's so fun to read aloud! #raisingreaders
Lost toys always look so sad 😭 hope there is a happy reunion!
