The Gruffalo, tell me, what kind of animal is that?

You don't know it?! Then I'll describe it to you.

You don't know the Gruffalo either? This is how you should get to know him.

The little mouse walks through the forest and is, of course, a tempting feast for everyone. She meets a fox, an owl and a snake, but despite her fear she is not completely afraid. She creates a creature from her imagination: the "Gruffalo",

None of the animals have seen him yet. "With knotted knees, a hideous paw and a poisonous wart on his face."

With his help she drives them all away. But then she is suddenly visited by the Gruffalo herself... "Oh, horror, oh horror..." - But that is the end of the story. is far from over.
