Synopsis

In this Scots translation of the beloved tale, a clever moose takes a dauner through the deep, mirk widd. Along the way, he encounters a tod, a hoolet, and a snake, each keen to make him their meal. To outwit them, the moose invents a fearsome creature—the Gruffalo. But what happens when the moose comes face to face with his own creation? This delightful story, filled with rhythmic verse and charming illustrations, is perfect for young readers.
