Everybody loves The Gruffalo , and now you can enjoy this children's classic for the very first time in Scots. Translated by James Robertson, this new edition of The Gruffalo has been approved by Julia Donaldson and will delight both children and adults alike. "A moose took a dauner through the deep, mirk widd. A tod saw the moose and the moose looked guid." Come a wee bit further intae the deep, mirk widd, and find oot whit happens when the sleekit moose comes face tae face wi a hoolet, a snake and a hungry gruffalo. Review: Gruffalo is lovable! - What fun! I fell in love with the "English" version while subbing at our local preschool. I had to have both versions. I have been practicing the Scot version for a read-aloud at our local preschool. The preschool teacher has most of Julia Donaldson books and a couple of the DVDs for the class. The preschoolers love the books and the DVDs. To my delight, I was already familiar with one of Julia Donaldson's books "Super Worm." Another preschool to second grade delight. Thanks! Review: She loved it, this is a classic little Scot book ... - I ordered this for a Scottish friend to read to her daughter and to have a bit of Scotland with her in the US. She loved it, this is a classic little Scot book is a must have, especially for people away from home. The book itself was in great condition upon arriving to me as well.

So much fun!
If you’re of Scot heritage this is a fun read. It takes some practice reading it but it gets easier I promise! :)

Fabulous, but possibly a wee bit scary
This is a great book: the story is clever and the illustrations are adorable. Unfortunately, I bought it as a gift for a four year old who found it frightening.

Love it
We love the Gruffalo and found this book while on vacation in Scotland. We elected to purchase the Gruffalo's Child in Scots (Gruffalo's Wean) but not this one while there and regretted not getting them both because my daughter loves this book more than just about any other. I found it on Amazon.co.uk, but didn't want to pay nearly $20 between conversion rate and shipping so I was excited to find the same book on Amazon.com. If you have any Scottish in you then you will love this book, but you will have fun even if you don't.

It takes practice reading it aloud, but it's worth it!!! And it's an even better story in Scots! :)

Fun Scots English.
This is very cute for a child who has good language skills. Ordered for my son who is studying German.

I was hesitant to order based on a few poor reviews. I'm glad I did
I was hesitant to order based on a few poor reviews. I'm glad I did! Well made. Packaged simply in a plastic bag. 3 year old Gruffalo fan loves it.

Hilarious!
I recommend this book to any Scot who has read "The Gruffalo" in English. It is wonderfully translated, and makes you feel all warm inside! I laughed out loud several times and have never been prouder of my native tongue! It's not in the Robert Burns type of Scots, but in the dialect of today, which makes it relevant and funny at the same time. Kids AND adults will love it, it is a familiar story to most, and read out loud makes it even better! Buy it!!
