What a marvellous, magical day! A huge thank you to all the little adventurers, parents, and caregivers who joined us for our special storytime session at Kunzum GK2. Seeing our cosy reading corner packed with wide eyes, giggles, and enthusiastic roars reminded us why we love hosting our little bookworms so much.
Julia Donaldson, upon revisiting the deep dark wood after twenty years, creates a sensation right from the moment Gruffalo tells his daughter, “Your Gruffalo Granny is coming to stay!” They set out to make the perfect stew to impress her with an extra-special feast of Mouse Stew. Readers are fascinated by the clever little mouse, but also discover that with a little imagination, courage, and a pinch of wit, even the smallest among us can outsmart the biggest beasts.
Every page comes alive with Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler marvelling at the wonderful universe they have created not just for the Gruffalos, but also for the Snail who travels the world on a Whale, the witch from The Room on the Broom, and the Monkey who tries to find his mommy with a butterfly.
While reminiscing, we ensured we had them all on our shelves, with a special focus on the Gruffalo series:
- Gruffalo Granny: Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s latest family adventure. When Gruffalo Granny comes to stay in the deep dark wood, she brings double the mischief, cosy warmth, and grand stories of her own.
- The Gruffalo: The iconic picture book that started it all. Follow the clever little mouse as he invents a fearsome, knobbly-kneed creature to trick his predators—only to run into the real thing!
- The Gruffalo’s Child: The beloved sequel following the Gruffalo’s curious daughter as she sneaks out into the snow on a quest to find the “Big Bad Mouse.”
So, whether you are introducing your little explorer to the world of classic books for the first time, or looking to complete their home library with the newest addition, our team on the Children’s floor is always ready to help them pick out their next favourite and sign you up for the Kunzum Bookbees Membership that gives you a free entry to our weekly storytelling sessions.
Looking forward to our next adventure together this week!
