This is for the brown colouring to make the Gruffalo’s face, and the other will be used for the cream coloured parts on his ears.Mice often feature as the main character in stories for children, and one key characteristic of the animal in this context is humour. [21] [17] Both Ghassan Fadhil Radhi and van der Westhuizen write that children relate to the character of the mouse who triumphs in difficult situations, along with the humour that is a key element of many mouse stories. [17] [21] Chinese folk tale [ edit ] When writing the story, Donaldson did not have an exact vision of what the Gruffalo would look like. She said that she imagined he would be "more weird and less furry" than Scheffler's final illustrations. [36] She read the story in schools prior to the book being published and invited the children to draw the Gruffalo, which resulted in creatures which she described as looking "more like aliens and less like cuddly animals". [36] In early sketches for the book, the Gruffalo was depicted as being humanoid, troll-like, and wearing a T-shirt and trousers. The book's editor, Alison Green, said that they instead decided that the Gruffalo would look more like a woodland creature and predator, and Donaldson said the resulting illustration is "more natural looking". [36] [37] Scheffler's depiction of the creature relied on the physical descriptions within the text with along with features which aren't mentioned, such as a pair of bovine horns. He created a version of the character which is cuddly and furry but still scary. [38] Donaldson describes the Gruffalo's appearance as a "mixture of scary but stupid". [37] Burke writes that the image of the Gruffalo has become "iconic".
