Listen to four much-loved stories with sound effects, music and sing-along songs, together on one CD.
Julia Donaldson is the outrageously talented, prize-winning author
of some of the world's best-loved children's books, including
modern classics The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child, which
together have sold over 17 million copies worldwide, and the hugely
successful What the Ladybird Heard adventures. Julia also writes
fiction, including the Princess Mirror-Belle books illustrated by
Lydia Monks, as well as poems, plays and songs - and her brilliant
live shows are always in demand. She was Children's Laureate
2011-13 and has been honoured with an MBE for Services to
Literature. Julia and her husband Malcolm divide their time between
West Sussex and Edinburgh.
Axel Scheffler is a star illustrator whose instantly recognisable,
warm and witty illustrations have achieved worldwide acclaim and
numerous awards. In addition to his picture books, Axel is the
illustrator of wonderful novelty and gift books for Macmillan, such
as the bestselling The Bedtime Bear, The Tickle Book and Mother
Goose's Nursery Rhymes. He also illustrates the popular Pip and
Posy series. Born in Hamburg, Axel now lives with his family in
London.
The Gruffalo’s Child achieves the impossible - an even more
endearing, witty and delightful book than its parent.
