Gruffalo???

Hey,what's that?A buffalo?Another species of buffalo or maybe another name for buffalo?Phew!Actually this is another story introduced by Dr Jaya,again.Yes,he has so many interesting books to be shared with us after Edwina The Emu.Lets take a look of what gruffalo is about and how does it look.
Hye,meet me Gruffalo!


This book is written by Julia Donaldson and it has won the award for children's book which has sold over 10.5 million copies since 1999.Here comes the story....It tells about a mouse who takes a walk in the woods and he encounters with three animals of a fox,an owl and a snake along his journey.Each of them invites him to come to their home with the intention of eating him for dinner!What a poor mouse...

However,this small tiny and brilliant mouse declines their offers by saying that he is having dinner with his friend named Gruffalo.To make it more interesting,the mouse says to each of them that they are Gruffalo favourite's food.The mouse is also imagining how does Gruffalo look that make the fox,the snake and owl become more scared and frightened.The mouse actually creates his own imagination and he believes that the Gruffalo does not exist..But who knows,right?

So how shocking for the mouse to encounter a real Gruffalo the terrifying creature that he had invented. The mouse tells the Gruffalo that he is the scariest animal in the forest and tells the Gruffalo he can prove it. So to show how feared he is the mouse and the Gruffalo take a walk through the forest where in turn they meet up with the fox, the owl and the snake who run away terrified. The gruffalo is very impressed by the mouse's scary reputation until the mouse threatens to eat him and he flees too!
What is the moral of the story??
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE SMALL CREATURE BECAUSE THEY
MIGHT CHEAT YOU BACK! :)
