With each encounter, the quick-thinking mouse devises a cunning plan to escape their clutches. His secret weapon? A fabricated monster called the Gruffalo, complete with terrifying tusks and a fearsome appetite. But will this imaginary creature be enough to save the day?

It was very children-friendly and kept them watching all the time; it wasn't too long - just right, with songs and music. Loved it!
