Description
Who's the NAUGHTY NIBBLER?
Someone has taken a big bite out of the birthday cake the famer has baked, and he's FURIOUS!
For once, it's not Big Goat Gruff who's to blame, but can he find the real culprit before the famer turns him into GOAT PIE?!
Big Goat Gruff is always in trouble for eating things on the farm. So when the farmer discovers that the birthday cake he made for his wife has a huge bite taken out of it, Gruff is naturally the first suspect. But he didn't do it! Can Gruff find the culprit and clear his name before the farmer and his wife get home and turn him into goat pie?!

Reviews / Votes
"Gruff - the inveterate naughty nibbler of fairytale fame - takes centre stage in a wonderfully tasty and witty tale from bestselling children's author Ross Montgomery ... A laugh-out-loud, easy-to-read cake escapade which will go down well with all young mischief-makers!" - Lancashire Evening Post "This fast-paced whodunnit by Ross Montgomery is a play on the traditional Norwegian tale of the Three Billy Goats Gruff but without trolls ... truly delightful and beautifully crafted ... It is aimed at 5 years upwards and would work well as a Year 1 or Year 2 read aloud or to enrich a traditional tales unit in English after reading the original tale." - Just Imagine "The Three Billy Goats Gruff takes on a whole new meaning in this charming who-dunnit" - Scope for Imagination, blog "A superb early chapter book filled with fun, witty words and lots of humour ... but which also teaches children a valuable lesson about jumping to conclusions. There are plenty of gaps between the paragraphs, short text blocks of story and lots of cute, colourful illustrations by Marisa Morea interspersing the wonderful words and these really help to bring the story to life." - Fiona Eaton, bloggerMore details
