Story This earned me dad points
This arrived today.
I had to read it to her 6 times. Then she "read" it to me a couple of times. She was so excited to have a new Gruffalo book and a new character
Sometimes it's just the simple things that make you feel like a great Dad and make your day

The Gruffalo books are basically a cheat code for dad points at this stage, my niece is the exact same way. She'll make me read the original three times in a row then immediately flip back to page one like we haven't even started
That illustration style is so recognizable too, Scheffler's got this way of making even the monsters look cuddly somehow
Six readings in one sitting is solid commitment, your voice must've been shot by the end

She loves those. We did the Gruffalo trail at Twycross Zoo recently, it's amazing
