In addition to children's books, she has written many children's plays and songs and runs regular storytelling workshops. Her Smarties Prize-winning modern classic, The Gruffalo, has sold more than 13.5 million copies worldwide, and the Halloween favorite Room on the Broom is a perennial best seller. (School Library Journal)Ībout the Author Julia Donaldson is the internationally bestselling author of many popular books for children. Winner of the prestigious British Smarties Prize.Ī clever, exuberant story in rhyme with strong, color-saturated pictures to match. is there? Sturdy pages and a cozy trim make this rhyming read-aloud perfect for preschoolers. But will Mouse's frightful description be enough to scare off his foes? After all, there's no such thing as a gruffalo. Full color.īook Synopsis Julia Donaldson's trademark rhyming text and Axel Scheffler's brilliant, characterful illustrations come together in this perfect read aloud-now available as a board book When Mouse takes a stroll through the woods, he meets a fox, an owl, and a snake who all want to eat him! So Mouse invents a gruffalo, a monster with terrible tusks and terrible claws, terrible teeth, and terrible jaws. Another idea would be to create lots of shadow puppets and retell the story.About the Book A clever mouse uses his imagination to conjure up a vicious "gruffalo" to ruin the appetites of the hungry woodland animals he meets. We loved playing with our Gruffalo’s Child shadow puppets. If you have snow ( or fake snow ) make different animal footprints in the snow. This Gruffalo coding activity from JDaniel4’s Mom looks great. There are also some lovely learning ideas on the Room on the Broom website. You could dissect a flower, make a pinecone weather station or search for twigs of different sizes.Ī balancing or stacking activity would work brilliantly for Room on the Broom too – coming soon! The animals all throw an item into the witches potion at the end. Oobleck ( cornflour/cornstarch and water ) coloured brown would be perfect to recreate the scene where the animals rise out of the mud to scare the dragon. We love this Room on the Broom sensory bin from Still Playing School. If you’re looking for book themed science investigations you might also like our collection of Fairy Tale experiments for kids and Fairy Tale STEM ideas.
All my children have loved Julia Donaldson books, especially the Gruffalo, so as it’s almost World Book Day I’ve searched the web for my favourite Julia Donaldson science experiments and activities.
