The gruffalo

But even if you don't manage to win some goodies you still get a chance to go and test out the ride...


Organix Goodies is partnering with Chessington World of Adventures Resort and its new Gruffalo River Ride Adventure as it splashes into the Wild Woods, to offer little explorers (and mums and dads too) the chance to GO FREE*.

You can come face to face with the Gruffalo as you join Mouse on a picturesque riverboat journey through the deep dark wood, with exciting twists and turns along the way. We absolutely love theme parks and with the dare devil that is Daisy we will be going to test it out soon, hopefully!

Look out for The Gruffalo** promotion on multipacks of your little ones’ favourite Goodies snacks – from tasty oaty, crispy and fruit bars; corn puffs, including the new puffcorn; breadsticks and gingerbread men, farm animal and alphabet biscuits. Each multipack contains a voucher which gives one adult or one child free entry to Chessington World of Adventures Resort.

You’ll find the special Goodies Gruffalo packs in all major supermarkets and Boots stores from May 2017.

  1. Oo this is a tough question! I absolutely LOVE Julia Donaldson books! My favourite would have to be a squash and a squeeze! Wonderful rhymes and I love the moral of the story. It's a book I love reading to my little boy and he's even started to read along. But saying that, my little boy ADORES the story The Gruffalo. It's definitely a favourite. He curls up into bed with his snake and Gruffalo toy and reads along with me. His favourite part would be when the mouse bumps into the snake. It's such a wonderful book because of the detail they go into how the Gruffalo looks, the rhyming and the illustrations ! Well done Julia Donaldson! Truly magnificent !

  7. It has to be The Gruffalo! I've had four children of my own but also worked in Reception for the last 11 years and I have never known a book to capture young children's imagination like The Gruffalo does. After all these years I am still not bored of it and can now recite it word for word!

  38. We LOVE Julia Donaldson in this house, her books are so easy to read. There's nothing worse when it gets to bedtime and you done enjoy reading the book. My little one is only 18 months but a firm favourite in our house is 'A squash and a squeeze'! We live on a farm and he loves animals so we read the book whilst he does the noise of each of the animals...in the hope that he will eventually get the story ��

  39. I love Julia Donaldson! Both of my girls LOVE room on the broom. I think we have such a strong love for it after it was on TV with Simon Pegg. Which is just done so brilliantly. Plus we saw it at our local puppet theater.
