# The Gruffalo and Friends Advent Calendar Book Collection: The perfect festive activity book advent calendar for children!

Twenty-four small books, one to open each day of December, make up this Advent calendar from Macmillan Children's Books, published in 2025. Each is based on the picture books Julia Donaldson wrote with Axel Scheffler. The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and The Snail and the Whale appear among the activity, colouring and drawing books, alongside songs and rhymes meant to be shared aloud.

Matching the back covers of the mini books forms four puzzle scenes showing the characters celebrating the season together. The set comes in a hardback presentation case tied with a ribbon, which keeps the books together once the countdown is finished. It suits young readers who already know these characters, and families who want something to make, sing or puzzle over before bedtime each day.
