The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson

top toddler books
The Gruffalo for Toddlers
The Gruffalo is an award winning big book that every child must read. The story itself is very much interesting, with fantastic illustration and makes a satisfied read. I wonder how well the monster can be described and how much I like those rhymes,

"He has terrible tusks,
and terrible claws,
And terrible teeth in his terrible jaws."

"Silly old ... doesn't he know
There is no such thing as a gruffalo"

Its sequel "The Gruffalo's child" is again a great book with illustrations that are quite catchy and lovely use of language. The story here is that the Gruffalo's child who has grown up with stories told by the Big Bad Mouse, now takes a stroll all alone into the snow following some trails and then into woods to see if the Gruffalo really exists. And yes, you are required to join in the fun.

Peepo is every child's book that will interact with your child as you keep reading the texts. Each page follows the day through the eyes of a little child seeing the everyday chore of his family. What I like in this book is its repetitive rhymes and illustrations that associates with the texts. It also reminds the good old days to the adults and makes the child understand the difference between the old and new way of growing up. 

Features:
  • Engages your child with lovely illustrations and rhyming text
  • A day through the eyes of the child is neatly described along with repetitive words
  • Explores new words and life in the olden days
