Lovely toy, 23 Nov. 2010

It is definately worth buying the 16in toy. I bought the smaller one first but it was too small, this is a perfect size for my kids and looks more like the gruffalo should.

Astounding!!, 13 Jan. 2011

I bought this for my 2 year old niece as a Christmas present, she (along with her 2 older sisters) is a huge fan of the Gruffalo and they all constantly watch the dvd and read the book (or more accurately have it read to them, although they do know it word for word).

The book description of a Gruffalo is

"...who is this creature with terrible claws

and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws?

he has knobbly knees and turned out toes

and a poisonous wart at the end of his nose.

His eyes are orange, his tongue is black,

he has purple prickles all over his back"

and this is perfectly represented in this soft toy. They have somehow managed to make a potentially scary creature quite cute.

What I particularly liked about the toy is how soft it is (even the prickles down his back are soft), it is perfectly huggable and my niece now takes this to bed with her every night. I was concerned that if waking during the night it might scare...

Gruffalo!, 1 Oct. 2010

this is lovely, I bought it for my grandson as a present when his new brother was born. He loves the story, and saw a gruffalo in a shop when we were out waiting for his new brother to arrive, but saved money buying it from Amazon. Gruffalo now goes everywhere with my boy, and sits watching him in bed while he is asleep. He is no monster though, you can't help but love him!
