The Gruffalo will always follow Mouse, but might keep back a bit further than usual
What would the Gruffalo do if he was social distancing? Or perhaps Stick Man or even the Smeds and the Smoos?
Well, wonder no more because author Julia Donaldson and illustrator Axel Scheffler have shown us what it would be like.
"Axel had this idea of doing some witty sketches, each based on one of our books and each kind of incorporating a tip about coronavirus," Julia told the ´óÏó´«Ã½.
Axel said, "I wanted to do something light-hearted and cheer people up and I thought, 'what if I imagine our characters in corona situations?'"
Take a look for yourself and see how their characters are handling the lockdown.
