The Gruffalo THE GRUFFALO FROM KIDTOON FILMS® Dr. Donna's Movie Review Donna Mitroff, Ph.D. is the educational advisor for the family matinee program KIDTOON FILMS. Dr. Donna has nearly three decades of experience in the entertainment industry working on children's media development, production and policy. THEMES & OTHER THINGS This is an absolutely delightful telling of the wonderful book of the same name written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. The major difference between the book and the movie is that the story of the mouse is told to two young squirrels by their mother. The movie is a story within a story. The story of the adventure had by the happy little mouse as he walks through the woods in search of a nut will appeal to both boys and girls in the three to seven year age range. Parents are encouraged to read the book with children before seeing the film. This will increase their enjoyment of the story and will also help them understand some of the more subtle points. Reading the book in advance will also help to soften some of the scenes which might possibly frighten younger children. TALKING POINTS The story offers several opportunities for discussion. Let’s take a look at some of the themes from the story: Little mouse encounters three different animals who all invite him to come to their homes to dine. But the truth is they all wish to eat him. Little mouse is afraid but instead of acting afraid, he uses his wits to handle the situation. When he tells each animal that he is meeting the Gruffalo at that very spot and then describes the scary characteristics of the Gruffalo, they each imagine what the Gruffalo looks like then run away. Talk with children about the mouse’s strategy. How would you describe his behavior? Is he smart? (Why?) Is he brave? (Why?) After getting the three animals to run away, little mouse feels confident. Discuss the meaning of confident. How can we tell he feels confident? What was it that made the mouse, one of the smallest animals in the forest, feel confident? Ask children to think about what makes them feel confident. When little mouse actually meets the Gruffalo, his confidence shrivels. Why? What does he do to handle this new encounter? (He outsmarts the Gruffalo by telling him that everyone in the forest is afraid of him e.g. afraid of the mouse.) Gruffalo follows the mouse through the forest and when they encounter the fox, the owl, and the snake, each of these animals runs away. Why did they run away? Was it because they were afraid of the mouse? THE GRUFFALO We think the mouse was smart when he told each animal that he was meeting the Gruffalo. But was he telling the truth? Discuss this point with children. Was the mouse telling a lie? What do you think about the mouse saying something not true in order to save his own life? Discuss these points with children and help them understand your perspective on the mouse’s behavior. Not all decisions are purely black or white. It helps children develop their own sense of moral behavior to consider the situations that are not clear-cut. The fox, the owl and the snake are all predators. Discuss this term with children. Help them understand the meaning of the term. Introduce them to the concept of the food chain. Why do some animals eat other animals? ACTIVITY IDEAS Encourage children to retell the story in their own words. Retelling a story helps children develop memory for the sequence of events. This will enhance their comprehension skills. Young children are very interested in monsters. Here are a few activity ideas that enable children to play through their fear of monsters: Get better acquainted with the Gruffalo and engage in word play. The story is told in rhyming couplets. Children enjoy playing with rhymes and such play helps their language development. This passage occurs when the mouse encounters the Gruffalo. Read it to the children and discuss both the characteristics of the Gruffalo and the rhyming words in the passage. Encourage children to draw their own Gruffalo pictures. o But who is this creature with terrible claws And terrible teeth in his terrible jaws? He has knobbly knees and turned-out toes And a poisonous wart at the end of his nose. His eyes are orange, his tongue is black He has purple prickles all over his back “Oh help! Oh no! It’s the Gruffalo!” Make monster masks so children can play at being monsters. Have children draw a monster face on a paper plate. Punch small holes on each side of the plate and insert strings that can be tied in the back of head. Make up names for the monsters. Make up the special roar of each monster. This story lends itself to dramatization. Put on a play about The Gruffalo. Invite members of the family or neighborhood children to participate. Encourage children who take on the different roles to think about the voice of their character. How would the fox sound? How would the fox’s voice be different from the owl or the snake’s voice? Think THE GRUFFALO about how each character would move. How would the mouse move? How would the Gruffalo move? Practice developing the special moves of each character. Put on a show for family and friends.

Cute story, great for kids.By Patrick T. BaggettReview for Arabic version. I am not a native Arabic speaker, I am just reading for learning purposes. I can't comment on the exact quality of translation, but it appears to be good. Most of my review is from the perspective of a person who is learning Arabic as a second language.The localization is pretty good, too. It's not a straight word-for-word translation -- it's more like the whole story was rewritten: it's all rhyming poetry, and uses different (more eastern) words for foods, e.g. kabab. The pages read right-to-left like they should and the images have been flipped to make it appear correct. Great quality job over all. It sounds pretty cute when read aloud. From a reading level perspective, it is a bit harder than some children's books, but not overly difficult (6-10 lines of poetry per page). Some some vowel markings are present on harder words.I found the story to be very cute and would definitely read to kids.
