What is The Gruffalo's Child about?

THIS IS THE MASTER BOOK! On a wild, windy night, the Gruffalo’s Child sneaks out into the snowy woods, determined to find the Big Bad Mouse. Her father insists that the mouse is only a story, but she is not convinced. As she meets a snake, an owl and a fox, each creature seems to know something about the mysterious mouse. Then, in the darkness, a small shadow appears. Will the Gruffalo’s Child discover the truth, or will the Big Bad Mouse surprise her?
