Just what is the Gruffalo?
He has terrible tusks... and terrible claws... and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws.
But do all those things make him the scariest creature in the deep dark wood? One brave little mouse with a big imagination doesn't think so!
When Mouse takes a stroll through the woods, he meets a fox, an owl, and a snake who all want to eat him. So clever Mouse scares them off by warning them about the gruffalo who lives in the forest, a monster with terrible teeth and terrible claws.
But what happens when Mouse's invented monster turns out to be real?
*The Gruffalo *is an international best-selling and award-winning sensation with over 13.5 million copies in print worldwide. It has been made into an Oscar-nominated animated film as well as a stage musical that was performed on Broadway, and was voted England's favorite bedtime story.

Or the Bull Kills You: An Evening with Eugene Costello
Book Lovers Valencia, Carrer del Historiador Chabås, 5, Ciutat Vella, 46003 València, Valencia, Spain, València, VC, ESOr the Bull Kills You: An Evening with Eugene Costello
Join Valencia-based journalist and author Eugene Costello at Book Lovers Valencia on Thursday 22 October at 20:00 for an evening of conversation, readings and book signing.
In Or the Bull Kills You, Eugene charts his journey through kidney failure, dialysis and a transplant at Valenciaâs Hospital Doctor Peset.
With candour, dark humour and gratitude for the people who kept him alive, he writes about fear, friendship and finding a way forward when life takes an unexpected turn.
Eugene will discuss the experiences behind the book, how he turned them into writing, and making a home in Spain.
There will be time for questions and signed copies, including his novels Puta Madre and Beyond Puta Madre.
Come along for stories, conversation and proof that even a hospital stay can provide material â although there are easier ways to research a book.
