Fun for adults as well, I promise!

All the characters from The Gruffalo are present. The card game in a race to match the most rhyming words. Children will develop their colour matching, reading and rhyming skills to play cards in a rhyming sequence and win the game.

Special Mouse and Gruffalo cards are there to help along the way.

My smallest boy is four and is getting really good at rhyming. He has made up his own rhymes recently and I am sure it has everything to do with the introduction of The Gruffalo game.

Learning can be tough for little ones, distractions are never far away. I found the Game really satisfying as attentions were held long enough to make a difference and still have fun.

For Parents, this chance to engage and educate is simply priceless.

There is a bonus game in the box called There’s No Such Thing as a Gruffalo! This game is a race to be the first to collect cards of all five characters from the story in the same colour: the Mouse, Fox, Snake, Owl and Squirrel.

Contents:
• 24 rhyming cards
• 6 Mouse cards
• 2 Gruffalo cards
• 21 cards for bonus game

If you want to spend some quality time with your kids, this is the way to do it. Guaranteed laughter!

University Games also have some other great titles for little ones – (Author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar) Eric Carle’s ABC Game, Eric Carle’s 1,2,3 Rooster’s Off To See the World Game and Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed Game all for ages 3 & up.
