Julia Donaldson said “I really hope that children – and adults too – will enjoy the new
story, as I know what a wonderful experience shared reading can be. I was delighted
when Axel came on board, and am even more so now that I’ve seen the brilliant
sketches he’s already done for the new book.”

Axel Scheffler said “. . . One day out of the blue there came a wonderfully clever and
inspired new text by Julia. How does she do this? Could I decline? Of course not! As I
have had to draw the odd Gruffalo and his daughter over the last 20 years, I’m not
completely out of practice.”
