Zarelda agus an Gruagach (Cnuasach Tomi Ungerer / The Tomi Ungerer Irish Collection)

Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description

Tá an Gruagach ocrach ar thóir páistí beaga dá bhricfeasta. Tá siad uilig i bhfolach ar fud an bhaile—iad uilig seachas Zeralda, atá sona sásta sa choill, gan tuairim aici faoin ngruagach. Lá amháin, tá an Gruagach díreach roimpi. An mbeidh aon rud in ann í a shábháil?

Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

All of the children in the town have been in hiding to avoid becoming the hungry ogre's breakfast. All except Zeralda, who lives in the woods and hasn't heard about the hungry ogre. One morning, when they come face to face, will anything stop him from eating her?
