Skirting down Hemlock St. — Vancouver, BC
Rockin’ the board books, this 1-year old mite with curly blond locks is clearly ready for story-time anytime.
The Gruffalo, Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler (Campbell Books)
“He has terrible tusks, and terrible claws, and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws.” [Little Mouse to Fox on the features of his friend The Gruffalo]
“Where are you meeting him?”
“Here by these rocks, and his favourite food is roasted fox.”
“Roasted fox! I’m off!” Fox said.
“Goodbye, little mouse,” and away he sped.
“Silly old Fox! Doesn’t he know, there’s no such thing as a gruffalo?”
Among the hip and forward-thinking 1-year-old trendsetters are great books like Goodnight Gorilla and The Gruffalo, which feature fun twists in the story that make the books interesting for parents too.
BTW, books are not for throwing. Especially board books. I don’t care if the corners are rounded.
Although not yet 100% into The Gruffalo, this blond cupid is quickly learning to be a cunning little mouse himself.
