The Three Billy Goats Grugg by Paul Galdone-OPTIONAL

Galdone, Paul.  The Three Billy Goats Gruff, 40 pgs. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Books, 2011.  $8.99.  Back Cover: “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, and get fat.  But under the bridge lives a troll who’s as mean as he is ugly…”  There is nothing new or exciting about this rendition of the classic Folk Tale.  The illustrations are somewhat busy and the troll is a bit scary.  Pre-K.  EL (K-3).  OPTIONAL.  Reviewer: SL.
