The Grotlyn by Benji Davies

5.0

The Grotlyn is going around different people stealing things at night. Nobody knows what it is that is taking everything. It turns out that a monkey has escaped and is collecting things to make a hot air balloon out of in order to get out of the city.
There are lots of opportunities for children to predict what is taking the objects and what they might be doing with them. The illustrations are great and have lots of hidden clues in them. A lovely read-aloud story for KS1 children with the potential to be used to base a unit of work around.
