  Children's picture books 24 September 2004  
What makes a classic children’s picture book?

If picture books play a large part in your life, child or adult, you have good reason to rejoice this month, because the enormously popular fictional monster The Gruffalo has had a baby.

Ritula Shah talks to The Gruffalo’s author, Julia Donaldson and to the Guardian’s Children’s book editor Julia Eccleshare about what makes an enduring and popular picture book.


Julia Donaldson, The Gruffalo's Child is published by Macmillan Children's Books
