The Gruffalo’s Child

Adapted from Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s award-winning picture book

The Gruffalo said that no gruffalo should

Ever set foot in the deep dark wood...

Follow the Gruffalo’s Child on her adventurous mission in Tall Stories’ enchanting adaptation of the much-loved picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

One wild and windy night the Gruffalo’s Child ignores her father’s warnings about the Big Bad Mouse and tiptoes out into the deep dark wood. She follows snowy tracks and encounters mysterious creatures – but the Big Bad Mouse doesn’t really exist... does he?

Let your imagination run wild with songs, laughs and scary fun for everyone aged 3 to 103.

About The Grannies:

Fun and melodic singers and instrumentalists, Patsy Johnson, Shari Doseger, and Sharon Klassen play guitar, violin, flute, and ukulele. Shari's rich vocals are embellished with harmonies by sisters Patsy and Sharon. Having collaborated for over 20 years, their repertoire includes music by Raffi, Jack Johnson, and The Wiggles. 

The Grannies previously entertained at Tett Centre's "Kids Creativity Club". Beginning in 2014, Patsy and Shari have been Artists-in-Residence in Limestone District School Board Kindergarten classes. As Artist Educators, music has been foundational to teaching young children valuable social skills. Through engaging songs, stories and puppets, children were introduced to the musical arts. Inclusion, kindness, and friendship were the focus of teaching. Along with children’s classics, original songs were written from a child’s perspective. The songs were easy to learn and sing. Sessions were sponsored by the Ontario Arts Council. 

Both Shari and Patsy are trained Educators (E.A./E.C.E.).
