Featuring The Gruffalo alongside firm favourites like Room on the Broom, The Snail and the Whale, and Cave Baby, it's the perfect introduction to one of Britain's most cherished children's authors.

About the Books
Julia Donaldson has become a household name thanks to her irresistible blend of rhythm, humour, and heart, and this ten-book set showcases her storytelling at its best. The Gruffalo and its sequel The Gruffalo's Child follow a quick-witted mouse navigating the deep dark wood, while Room on the Broom tells a warm tale of friendship as a witch's broken broomstick brings new animal friends together. The Snail and the Whale takes readers on an epic ocean adventure, proving even the smallest creature can make the biggest difference, while Cave Baby offers a playful prehistoric romp through a moonlit landscape. The Smartest Giant in Town gently explores kindness and generosity, and Tyrannosaurus Drip charms with its heartfelt story of feeling different. A Squash and a Squeeze teaches appreciation for what you have, The Paper Dolls follows paper dolls on a whimsical garden escape, and Charlie Cook's Favourite Book weaves stories within stories for a joyfully meta read. Each title bursts with Donaldson's trademark rhyming verse, memorable characters, and gentle life lessons, building a love of reading from an early age. Trusted by parents, teachers, and librarians, these ten stories remain firm favourites for storytime and sharing.
