The Gruffalo

«– What kind of Gruffalo? Little mouse, who are you talking about?
– Oh, it's a very large creature, I've known him for a long time…»
To escape from the fox, the owl, and the snake, the little mouse invents a terrifying Gruffalo – a creature that really loves to eat foxes, owls, and snakes. But can the clever little mouse outsmart all the hungry predators? After all, he knows very well that there are no Gruffalos… Or are there?
Today it is hard to imagine that there were no Gruffalos before. Since the first edition in England in 1999, 26 million books about the terrible creature with purple spikes on its back have found their owners around the world, and the hero speaks 86 foreign languages. The Russian Gruffalo turns 15 years old. Happy birthday, Gruffalo!
