to think that this girl is a bit old to be reading The Gruffalo?

[Melpomene]

She looks about 8 or 9 - surely The Gruffalo is aimed more at 3-5 year olds?

Yabu

You have too much time on your hands. Maybe she likes it, maybe it is just for publicity, but either way, leave her to it.

You're never too old for the Gruffalo! Didn't you know?

Had that very conversation with somebody over a Gruffalo handpuppet in a bookshop the other day.

Wow. You really do have too much time on your hands.

She looks about 6 to me too

I love the Gruffalo.
Can I not read it now as I'm socially perceived as being 'too old' for it?

Maybe she is re-living her childhood, she has a smile on her face.

And the book was good.

I love The Gruffalo and I'm 27.

Is this a clever ruse to get us talking about the campaign?

She looks toddy to me, probably 5 or 6.

Besides.

She'll be a model.

she looks about the same age as my dd - 6

She's planning to read it to her baby brother later that day.

I am 40 and cannot put the gruffalo sounds book down - nor can my baby's much older sister. You're as young as the book you feel...

I'm considerably further over 21 than I care to think about and I still love to read The Gruffalo (although I do prefer Room on the Broom!).

yabu, i love the Gruffalo

YABVU the gruffalo is the best book ever and you are never too old for it.

The dress and top are from John Lewis

Aha oh ho didn't you know?
You're never too old for The Gruffalo!

YABU She looks about 6 and even if she were older, there is no simpler joy of revisiting books that you remember fondly.

Three to five-Gruffalo loved as it's read aloud to them. Six onwards-loved as they read it unaided. Quite a lot of words,you know!

too much time? Only took me a minute to make a post, no longer than it took you to reply!

It is a press advert, posed by a model - I'm pretty sure the concept of basing an ad on the Gruffalo came first and the book wasn't chosen by the girl. It just struck me as a bit odd because I would expect a child of that age to be more interested in chapter books than picture books. My own dds are 6 and 8 and the model looked closer to 8 to me.

What an unusual observation op
