The story of the little mouse who is off to meet the Gruffalo for lunch and scares away predatory animals en route is an oldie but a goody. The storyline might be a bit difficult for the average baby to understand, but this little board book with its charming drawings will delight even the smallest readers. And if the adult reader is prepared to try out a few different voices (“Roasted fox! I’m off!’’ Fox said), the babies will be terribly impressed.
