The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson, Illustrated by Axel Scheffler

I'm back again to sing praises of The Bookshelf library but this will be the last time for a few weeks - I promise. We had just walked into the library and met the librarian/owner. We tell her that we are looking for books for Luffy and the first book she recommends is The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson, Illustrated by Axel Scheffler. Preeti loved reading it at the library but we're still not sure why we walked out of the library without it. So she insisted that the next week, one of the books that I pick up was The Gruffalo!

And Luffy loves reading it. We're into the second week now and we love hearing him describe how the animals interact with one another! There are also a bunch of ancillary details that he likes focusing on and discussing. Coincidentally, we picked up another (second-hand) book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, only to later realize that it's same duo. I'll mention this other book by them in a later post but safe to say, we're slowly becoming fans of the duo! I also noticed in the second-hand bookstore next door that there seems to be a whole universe of The Gruffalo books but I don't think we're that crazy about them.
