Summary: The mouse may be one of the smallest animals in the forest, but perhaps, he has the most smarts, too! The mouse creates the gruffalo, a creature with knobby knees, poisonous warts, and terrible tusks. The rhyme and rhythm along with the wit of the mouse makes this story a delightful story!
