The Gruffalo Sound Book

Product Information

The sound buttons are a bit harder to press than other sound books and my son often needs help to press hard enough.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.There are two activities at the back of the book for the child to try after they have finished the story. I loved this addition, as did my 3yr old son, as it introduces an interactive element to story time and promotes active listening. Axel’s artwork is exhibited internationally; he has illustrated for many charities and designed the Royal Mail Christmas stamps in 2012.

I felt they enhanced the story quite nicely, although a lot of people seem to be saying they found it distracting. Further books illustrated by Axel include Room on the Broom, Stick Man, Zog and The Smeds and the Smoos – all of which have been made into much-loved animated films by Magic Light Pictures. Press the twelve sound buttons in the pages of the story to make Julia Donaldson’s classic tale of The Gruffalo come alive! The sounds themselves are not the most exciting (fox sniffing, owl hooting, tummy rumbling) but they make the story a bit more engaging. The ideal gift for all Gruffalo fans, The Gruffalo Sound Book is also the perfect introduction to this family favourite .
