Customer Reviews

So funny!

I read this to my students and they thought that it was hilarious. Some things were way over their head-- since they are in second grade but they ask for me to read it over and over again!

so silly,so funny

This book is one of several we have purchased by this author for our 3 year old grandaughter. It is based on the tale of the Three Billy Goats Gruff and the troll. The goats have no money to pay the toll to the troll so they decide to pool their money with other fairy tale characters who come along to cross the bridge. The verse is witty and full of double entendres which makes it funny to both children and adults. You will not mind reading this book over and over again. The artwork is nice too. We also recommend Piggy Pie, Earthquack,and Bad Boys by this author.

clever and funny story

This book is a riot ~ my 6yr old and I loved this book. It mixes several popular fairy tales into one and is a gem for a children's library.
