Why Do Kids Love Gruffalo Pictures So Much?

As an Early Years Teacher It son became apparent to me that children love the Gruffalo story and that preschoolers love the Gruffalo pictures and illustrations create by Axel Scheffler.

At first I wasn’t sure why or what it was that attracted kids to this story but I’ve come to conclude there are two main things.

The Gruffalo is scary but cute at the same time. Despite his scary tusks he always has a smile.
The Gruffalo story and images depict a fun loving Monster who is happy most of the time.
