Written by Megan McDonald

Illustrated by Katherine Tillotson

You may know where this is going. The story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff and their encounter with that bully boy Troll has been told and told and told again. Yet who was the first silver tongued teller? Well…it seems that the brothers Gruff were rather proud of their troll-outsmarting abilities and of their storytelling prowess. And when a story is well told, the rest is history…or yet another story….This one!

“The traditional repetition of the “trip-trap” of the goats’ hooves is retained, giving children opportunities to participate, and Tillotson’s bright and cheerful illustrations, which paint Troll as a red, snaggletoothed, horned creature, are certain to be appealing to a young audience.” –Kirkus
