Der Grüffelo kehrt zurück – mit Maus, Mut und einem neuen Monsterabenteuer - Kinderbuch

Mehr als zwei Jahrzehnte nach seinem ersten bedrohlich-brummigen Auftritt stapft der Grüffelo zurück in den Wald – und in die Kinderzimmer. Wie The Guardian am Mittwoch meldete, haben Autorin Julia Donaldson und Illustrator Axel Scheffler eine Fortsetzung der beliebten Grüffelo-Reihe angekündigt. Der dritte Band soll im September 2026 erscheinen – genau 27 Jahre nach dem Original von 1999 und 22 Jahre nach dem Nachfolger Das Grüffelokind.
