In fact, I would go so far as to say that if one hasn't read The Gruffalo, one would not get anywhere near as much out of this one. So, congratulations to the creators as that is fairly unique. I also give points as (much like the other two books I've read by them) the rhymes are fun and the art is charming. In an interview in the book The Way We Write (2006), Donaldson writes that although "It can take months or years for the germination of a book ... writing The Gruffalo probably took two weeks, with all the rewriting". [6] She said that writing the second half of the book was difficult and almost forced her to stop altogether. [7] Donaldson said that she had admired Scheffler's illustrations for A Squash and Squeeze, and when her publisher did not suggest he would also be illustrating The Gruffalo, she sent him the text of the book herself. Scheffler showed the text to Macmillan, who were his publisher at the time and subsequently published the book. [8] Plot [ edit ] The Gruffalo has been adapted for the stage by Tall Stories theatre company, premiering in 2001. The production has toured the West End, Broadway, and Sydney Opera House. [63] A review in The Scotsman says that the play "develops Donaldson's words with perfect understanding". [64] A review in British Theatre praises the "dynamic movements in all the scenes", including fourth wall breaks, but writes that the musical numbers and scenery are not as inspiring. [65] The Gruffalo has also been adapted for the stage by Dutch theatre company Meneer Monster. [66] Legacy [ edit ]
