What is The Gruffalo and the Gruffalo's Child about?

One snowy night, the Gruffalo's curious daughter ventures into the deep, dark wood to find the fabled Big Bad Mouse her father fears. Along the way, she meets a snake, an owl, and a fox, each pointing her towards the elusive creature. Eventually, she encounters a small mouse who cleverly uses moonlight to cast a giant shadow, convincing her that the Big Bad Mouse is real. Frightened, she hurries back home, her belief in her father's warnings restored.
