The brand new Gruffalo picture book from Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

The Gruffalo said to his daughter one day,
"Your Gruffalo Granny is coming to stay."

Return to the deep dark wood with the first new Gruffalo story in over twenty years, and meet Gruffalo Granny as she visits the Gruffalo family. This fresh and exciting new Gruffalo adventure features the return of much-loved characters and is destined to become a classic.

From author Julia Donaldson:
"I really hope that children—and adults too—will enjoy the new story, as I know what a wonderful experience shared reading can be. I was delighted when Axel came on board, and am even more so now that I've seen the brilliant sketches he's already done for the new book."

From illustrator Axel Scheffler:
"One day out of the blue there came a wonderfully clever and inspired new text by Julia. How does she do this? Could I decline? Of course not! As I have had to draw the odd Gruffalo and his daughter over the last 20 years, I'm not completely out of practice."
