* BatmanGambit: In the book, this appears to be the mouse's plan to deter predators: he tells the fox, the owl and the snake that he's going to meet a bigger and more dangerous (but imaginary) predator than them, and that each of them is that predator's favourite food. It backfires when his imaginary predator turns out to a.) not be imaginary, and b.) have mouse as his favourite food.

Added DiffLines:
* NonActionProtagonist: The mouse doesn't fight his would-be predators (probably because he physically can't) so instead, he scares them away by claiming he's friends with a monster called the Gruffalo, who eats their species. When [[AccidentalTruth it turns out]] that the Gruffalo ''does'' exist, he points out the predators running in fear from the Gruffalo and tricks the Gruffalo into thinking they're afraid of the ''mouse'' instead, scaring the Gruffalo.

Added DiffLines:
* SnakesAreSinister: Downplayed; like the fox and the owl, the snake wants to eat the mouse justifiably because it's in his nature.

* DontGoInTheWoods: Downplayed for the Deep Dark Wood. It's home to lots of creatures which eat mice, but they're only really dangerous to the mouse. In ''The Gruffalo's Child'', the Gruffalo thinks it's home to a "Big Mad Mouse", but it isn't really; he just fell for a regular mouse's trick.

Both books would eventually be adapted into animated short film by Creator/TheBBC that was directed by Max Lang and Jakob Shuh, with the voice cast including Creator/JamesCorden as the mouse, Creator/RobbieColtrane as the gruffalo, Creator/TomWilkinson as the fox and Creator/JohnHurt as the owl. Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter also stars as a newly-created mother squirrel character narrating the story in a framing device. Nine other of Donaldson & Scheffler's books would go on to get animated adaptations for the BBC.
