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.
