My First Gruffalo: Colours

Spot nature’s colours in the Gruffalo’s wild world. This chunky first colours book is perfect for small paws. Step back into the magical Deep Dark Wood to name the woodland colours that you see. The red of a cunning fox’s fur. A green tree. A blue kingfisher. Axel Scheffler’s lovely pictures are a delight.
