Bookroo's summary
The three billy goats Gruff are desperate to reach the lush grass across a bridge, but a greedy troll stands in their way, eager for a meal. As they confront this bully, the goats must use their wits to cross safely. Will the troll's greed lead to his downfall, or is redemption possible? Discover a fresh take on this classic tale, where courage and cleverness might just triumph over intimidation.
From the publisher
A classic read-aloud favorite addressing bullying retold by acclaimed artist Jerry Pinkney.
Jerry Pinkney puts his indelible stamp on another beloved folktale in the same vein as the Caldecott Medal-winning The Lion & the Mouse and the highly acclaimed The Tortoise & the Hare and The Grasshopper & the Ants.
When the three billy goats Gruff are hungry, they see bountiful grass to eat across an old bridge. But the bridge is home to a terrible troll, who is peckish himself, and looking for a tasty morsel to gobble up. In his interpretation of the timeless tale, Jerry Pinkney shows there’s little good to come from greed–but in the end, redemption for even the most trollish bully is possible. A dramatic gatefold heightens the climax of this brilliant rendition.
