Turns out, Prince George and Princess Charlotte love a bedtime story just as much as the next kid!
On Monday, Prince William revealed that one of his children’s favourite books is The Gruffalo, written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.
The children’s book tells the story of a mouse who takes a walk in a European forest and encounters several creatures who want to eat him.
As the father-of-three met the co-creators of the book at a Tusk Trust event, William said: ‘I know who you are. It’s a big hit in our household, The Gruffalo.’
Donaldson and Scheffler decorated one of 21 model rhinos with characters from their book, The Ugly Five, as part of a project to raise awareness of the threat facing rhino populations at the hands of poachers.
The Gruffalo has also been adapted into a play which was been performed on London’s West End, as well as the Sydney Opera House, and also lends itself to a 2009 Oscar-nominated film of the same name and stars Robbie Coltrane, James Corden and Helena Bonham Carter.
