Meet the Gruffalo
Saturday 11th October
Save the date because everyone’s favourite knobbly kneed, orange eyed, warty nosed character is stomping into the Little Ripon Bookshop. Don’t be scared by his terrible tusks or his terrible claws, or even his terrible teeth in his terrible jaws. We’ve heard he’s just a (very) big softy – why not come along and find out for yourself? (Just don’t mention Gruffalo Crumble!)
