The Gruffalo - Tuesday 15th June.....

For those who haven't heard of the Gruffalo, it's a story about a little mouse who goes for a walk through the "deep dark wood" in search of nuts.... and runs into all kinds of forest creatures who want to eat it.... and it makes up this creature that it's meeting to scare off each of the animals so that they'll leave it alone....

We first heard about it when they were advertising it on ABC.... we recorded it and Jade has watched it to bits since........


On Tuesday - they had the stage production come to Gladstone, so I took Jade to see it... it's played out by three people on the stage.... it was great... Jade was laughing the whole way through and was really getting in on the audience participation....


This is the "official trailer" of the stage show - but this isn't the Australian version... fairly similar though....

At one point in the show, I couldn't sink deeper in my seat if I'd tried.... The gruffalo had been hit in his "nether" region and Jade yells out (and I do mean yells!) "It hit him in the willy!!!!" and of course all of the primary school kids were laughing.... my little comedian.....

We got Jade the story book... so she read it to Blake before his bed time.... she pretty much knows it word for word because of the movie - and it's rhymes - so she could work out what was next....
