The Three Billy Goats Gruff

by Paul Galdone, Paul Galdone (Illustrator)

Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller

Because of The Three Billy Goats Gruff, I like to imagine that every bridge I go over has a troll hiding underneath. The story of the three Billy goats is fun and engaging … just don’t follow in their steps and offer your sibling as a meal to a troll!

Can the three Billy Goats Gruff cross the troll’s bridge without being eaten? Find out in the perfect introduction to the beloved must-have classic by two-time Caldecott Honor-winner Paul Galdone.  

The three Billy Goats Gruff are hungry! They want to go over the bridge and up the hillside to a fine meadow full of grass and daisies where they can eat and eat and eat.

But under the bridge lives a troll who's as mean as he is ugly… How will they ever get past him?

An energetic, predictable chorus makes for a wonderful read-aloud of this classic tale.
