Donaldson, Julia (1999). The Gruffalo (Firsted.). Great Britain: Macmillan Children's Books. ISBN 0-8037-3109-4. Mice often feature as the main character in stories for children, and one key characteristic of the animal in this context is humour. [21] [17] Both Ghassan Fadhil Radhi and van der Westhuizen write that children relate to the character of the mouse who triumphs in difficult situations, along with the humour that is a key element of many mouse stories.

Scots Translations of Books by Julia Donaldson". Scots Language Centre . Retrieved 8 February 2023. Creasy, Matthew (7 August 2015). "How to write a children's classic: the Gruffalo formula". The Conversation. The Gruffalo is a short children's story around 700 words long. [25] It is intended to be read aloud as it is written for a target audience of children who do not know or are learning how to read. [26] It is written in rhyming couplets in primarily dactylic tetrameter. This is a relatively uncommon metre, consisting of one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables, for instance: [27] Come Hahn, Daniel, ed. (2015). The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature (2ed.). Oxford University Press. ISBN 9780199695140. The text contains a mixture of predictable rhymes (such as mouse-house and wood-good) and unpredictable rhymes (such as toowhoo-flew). It utilises alliteration from the very start (such as "deep, dark woods" in the opening line), which gives more emphasis to the descriptions and helps children remember them easier. [22] [29] The word "terrible" is repeated as an adjective to describe the Gruffalo's features (for example "terrible tusks", "terrible claws"), which Burke writes may remind readers of Where the Wild Things Are—another children's book to use the word. [35] The Gruffalo mainly uses concrete nouns (such as "lake" and "wood") rather than abstract nouns. [22] Illustrations [ edit ] The Gruffalo [ edit ]

It has been adapted into plays and an Oscar-nominated animated film. The book has inspired a range of merchandise, a commemorative coin, a theme park ride in Chessington World of Adventures, and a series of woodland trails. In 2004, The Gruffalo was followed by a sequel— The Gruffalo's Child—also written by Donaldson and illustrated by Scheffler. To create a satisfying rhyming scheme for the story, Donaldson tried a few different names for the creature that would eventually become the Gruffalo. [30] A range of official The Gruffalo merchandise includes clothing, accessories, games, and soft toys. [67] A Gruffalo Woodland Trail was opened on 31 March 2012 at the Dean Heritage Centre in the Forest of Dean. The trail depicts scenes and characters from the book carved by chainsaw artists. [68] Other Gruffalo-themed woodland walks and trails have been established in Great Britain, including those at Kilmardinny Loch in Bearsden, [69] Mount Vernon Park in Glasgow, [70] Ardkinglas in Argyll, [71] Whinlatter Forest Park in Cumbria, [72] and several locations managed by Forestry England. [73] In 2017, Chessington World of Adventures opened The Gruffalo River Ride Adventure after securing a licensing deal with the studio Magic Light Pictures, which created The Gruffalo film. This ride replaced the park's Bubbleworks Ride. [74] Another ride based on Donaldson's book, and Magic Light Picture's film, Room on the Broom was also opened. [75]
