Description
WHO'S THAT TRIP-TRAPPING OVER MY BOOKSHELF? Why, it's a beautiful new edition of The Three Billy Goats Gruff! Illustrated by Caldecott medalist Jerry Pinkney, this hardcover rendition of the classic story is the best I've seen. The watercolor illustrations flirt the line between fantastical and realistic, and the styled text invites young children to fill in the sounds themselves. A few key alterations enhance the book further: at the end, the troll falls into the river only to be bullied by a fish (“Who's that splish-splashing in my river?"), and the final pages show the Billy goats helping the troll make a new home.
Publisher's Description of Three Billy Goats Gruff
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 greedbut in the end, redemption for even the most trollish bully is possible. A dramatic gatefold heightens the climax of this brilliant rendition.
