So I know I need to get a life but...

I've found a picture of the gruffalo in enough JD/AS books (Tiddler the snail and the whale, the highway rat, tabby mctat) to make me think it must be in more - but I can't find it in Charlie Cook's favorite book and Monkey Puzzle.

First world problem, I know, but if anyone else has seen this I'd love to know!

Mortified, not in our board book version but if you have a paperback snail and the whale, I think it's on a fish (can someone please confirm this?).

I'm sure my children have spotted Gruffalo cookies on the last page of 'The Highway Rat' but I haven't seen it in Tabby McTat. I really must pay more attention when I'm reading them to the children.

One of the fish in 'Tiddler'.

Peter I found it in the sand - is it somewhere else?

MortifiedAdams · 18/09/2013 13:43

Stick Man is a bloody marvellous book!

Its not. in Squash and a Squeeze as that was written before the Gruffalo. Found it in all the books you listed! Afraid I dont have a massive collection so cant check any other books

We have the board book version of the Snail and the Wale - that explains why I can never find the Gruffalo. A child does draw him in the sand outside the school in the bay though.

The gruffalo in the Stick Man is on the page where Father Christmas comes out of the Chimney.

I've got a board book/jigsaw book of The Snail and the Whale but the image isn't in that - but I checked and it is in the ordinary version.

Gruffalo decoration in Stick Man, hanging on the Christmas Tree, and, subsequently, Gruffalos Child carries a Stick Man like a teddy.

Never seen it in Snail.and the Whale - off to look!
