Description
A classic read-aloud favorite addressing bullying retold by acclaimed artist Jerry Pinkney.
Jerry Pinkney puts his indelible stamp on every other beloved folktale in the similar 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 3 billy goats Gruff are hungry, they see bountiful grass to eat across an old bridge. However the bridge is home to a terrible troll, who is peckish himself, and in search of a tasty morsel to gobble up. In his interpretation of the timeless tale, Jerry Pinkney shows there may be little good to return from greed–but finally, redemption for even probably the most trollish bully is conceivable. A dramatic gatefold heightens the climax of this brilliant rendition.
