The Gruffalo

















But 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.

"Oh help! Oh no!
It's a Gruffalo!"

It is the 10 year anniversary of The Gruffalo being published and String Bean's class have been focusing on this book in class.

Her teacher asked the kids if they'd like to have a go of making the Gruffalo at home. That is just the sort of thing String Bean loves! She planned it all beforehand, going through her craft supplies looking for just the right thing and then Husband Deluxe helped her put him together.

He has been proudly displayed in her classroom ever since, although he did make it home briefly for a quick leg repair.
