About this deal

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. [17] [21] Chinese folk tale [ edit ] Hahn, Daniel, ed. (2015). The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature (2ed.). Oxford University Press. ISBN 9780199695140. Kids can follow orienteering maps and discover new parts of the forest while they search for each sculpture. It’s perfect for kids who love mystery and problem-solving aside from the beloved story.

However, it contains enough information so that it can be used even if you do not have access to this resource. It will help children to understand what a food chain is and to realise that they are part of a food chain. It also looks at the food chains in other parts of the world where the diet is different. A Scottish Gaelic version has been produced, with the voice of the Gruffalo provided by Bill Paterson. An Gruffalo was first shown on BBC Alba on Christmas Eve 2010.

The snake, owl and fox are all predators who want to eat the mouse so this story also makes an interesting starting point to help children describe how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, using the idea of a simple food chain, and to identify and name different sources of food. The Gruffalo is one of Julia Donaldson’s most popular storybooks and is a classic rhyming tale. Just like the story, the exciting sculpture trail encapsulates all the exciting twists and turns faced by Mouse in the storybook with interactive activities and adventure. Hamsterly Forest is home to an array of earthy activities from seasonal den building, bird feeding and all-year-round walking trails! There are many other family trails alongside the Gruffalo Trail with buggy-friendly trails included. Get a taste of history at Kielder Forest and Castle which was built in 1775. Enjoy walks and a children's play area before hunting for the Gruffalo sculptures on the Gruffalo Trail.

This resource contains an image rich powerpoint presentation about nocturnal animals and how they are adapted to live in the dark. It encourages children to think about the senses that animals would have to use if they could not rely on their sense of sight. Find the Gruffalo at Mountain View Ranch in Caerphilly – the first official Gruffalo Trail in Wales. After you've spotted Mouse, Fox, Snake and co, look out for the fairy forest, giant jumping pillows, tree houses, and an eagle's nest swing. Plus, there's delicious woodfired pizzas to revive you at the end of your exciting, outdoor adventures. A mouse walks through a wood and encounters three predators—first a fox, then an owl, and finally a snake. Each of these animals invites the mouse into their home for a meal, the implication being that they intend to eat the mouse. The mouse declines each offer, telling the predators that it plans to dine with a "gruffalo". The mouse then describes the gruffalo's frightening features, such as "terrible tusks, terrible claws, and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws". [9] The mouse tells each predator that they are the gruffalo's favourite food. Frightened that the gruffalo might eat them, each animal flees. Convinced the Gruffalo is fictional, the mouse says:

BOOK YOUR ADVENTURE TODAY The Gruffalo Discovery Land is included in your Twycross Zoo admission! Donaldson has said that the story of The Gruffalo was inspired by a Chinese folk tale known as "The Fox that Borrows the Terror of a Tiger" [22] [23] (狐假虎威 [24]).The folk tale is about a hungry tiger who tries to catch a fox. The fox is clever and tells the tiger that God has made the fox king of all animals. Whilst accompanying the fox, the tiger notices that other animals run away in fear. Not realising that they are actually running away from the tiger, the tiger believes that fox is indeed a feared king. [23] Donaldson was originally going to have the beast in her book be a tiger, but was unable to think of rhymes for "tiger" so instead invented a new word—"gruffalo".
