And you thought there was no such thing as a Gruffalo

- with terrible claws
And terrible teeth in his terrible jaws
He has knobbly knees, and turned-out toes,
And a poisonous wart at the end of his nose.
His eyes are orange, his tongue is black,
He has purple prickles all over his back.

Follow the trail at Alice Holt Forest!
