The Three Billy Goats Gruff
Mac Barnett
In this retelling of the Norwegian folktale, the three Billy Goats Gruff want to cross a bridge to reach a grassy ridge. A hungry troll waits beneath the bridge and plans a goat meal. The first two goats avoid being eaten by telling the troll that a larger, tastier goat is coming next. Muted mixed-media illustrations accompany the goats’ passage and the troll’s heightened demands.
