«El Grúfal» is the children's story by Julia Donaldson, illustrated by Axel Scheffler, published by Macmillan in hardback (32 pages, in Catalan).
A very alert little mouse walks through the forest and, to get rid of the fox, the owl and the snake, boasts of having met the Gruffalo, a frightful monster. To the mouse's misfortune, the Gruffalo really exists and now he will have to be cleverer than the monster.
It is the first title in the Gruffalo series, translated into Catalan by Pau Joan Hernández i Fuenmayor. The book was awarded the Blue Peter Book Award and the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize.
Recommended for children aged 6 to 8, El Grúfal is a rhyming story that works very well as a read-aloud.
Dame Julia Catherine Donaldson is a British writer and playwright, and the 2011–2013 Children's Laureate. She is best known for her popular rhyming stories for children, especially those illustrated by Axel Scheffler, which include The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom, Stick Man, and Superworm. She originally wrote songs for children's television but has concentrated on writing books since the words of one of her songs, "A Squash and a Squeeze", were made into a children's book in 1993. Of her 184 published works, 64 are widely available in bookshops. The remaining 120 are intended for school use and include her Songbirds phonic reading scheme, which is part of the Oxford University Press's Oxford Reading Tree. In January 2025, Donaldson became Britain's best-selling author, surpassing J.K. Rowling by some 600,000 sales.
