What’s a Gruffalo?.. Why.. didn’t you know?
This may sound real crazy for some.. but I began reading to both my sons while they were both still a foetus.. sometimes around 5 months pregnant.. I remembered borrowing one of those Disney story books from my nieces and began reading a story a day.. and when they were born.. by about 6 months old.. I will lied out beside them both and read to them all sorts of books.. and yes both my boys love it…
Some 3 years back.. I got hold of a book called “Gruffalo”.. bought it at the Takashimaya’s Kinokuniya bookstore.. and from the moment I read to them both.. it has since been their favourite book of all times.. I remember clearly how this awarding book became their nightly reading for some 2 months.. Elson will give me a real grumpy face should I went against his wish..
I have heard from some friends how some kids are not into reading.. if that is so.. please do try this one.. it’s of the BEST children’s story book that I know in the market.. the author, Julia Donaldson has been well awarded.. the story book have sold millions of copies, and its been turn into a live play with sold out tickets.. and surprisingly.. you can even get a DVD of it from Sun Plaza, Medan!! .. I have bought the DVD too and it’s just as good .. it’s from the corner CD shop on the top floor of Sun Plaza that is opposite the Fountain Café.. just can’t remember the shop name though..
it’s a real must read..!! and with some practice, both my boys can recite the whole story for you all to hear!!

Hiya, Gruffalo is definitely the best of Julia Donaldson’s many books. Have you tried Gruffalo’s Child too? My daughter also loves that one. She can even memorise parts of the rhymes especially the ones which are repeated. No wonder since she’s listened to it since she was a baby. Try The Smartest Giant in Town too. We like that one as well.
