The Three Billy Goats Gruff (Paul Galdone Nursery Classic) Paperback – Picture Book, September 15, 1981

I bought for my classroom, very nice quality and the kids love this story! Nice sized book with very colorful pictures

This is one of my favorite books and the pictures are big enough for a classroom to see. Love this book and got it in great condition

Nice book, kid friendly size, and the price is RIGHT! A fun read-aloud!

Having read this in our local library our son wanted his own copy so excited to receive this. Not only are the illustrations absolutely SUPERB the storyline is also fun. Wanting to reach the other side of the river, the littlest and youngest billy goat trip traps over the bridge first, dressed in a diaper. When the troll and his frog approaches it, it tells him that there is a bigger goat coming so being greedy, the troll agrees to let the littlest goat pass over unharmed. This happens with the medium sized goat also but the story changes when the big goat starts crossing the bridge. He's ready to fight! The last we see of the troll of him swimming down the river.FABULOUS retelling and highly recommended. Thrilled with our purchase. Thanks, Liz

My wife and I love reading this to our grandson. He loves the voices of the goats we do and it makes him laugh!!!!!

As I read the story to my class of 20 children, some waited anxious as I change my voice to represent each billy goat. Usually I start by sharing the "cover page" and the "title page." The illustrations on the front cover were great. However, there was room for improvement: The Troll was a little frighten for some of the children.

Very nostalgic and my granddaughter loves it.

Janet Stevens is a wonderful illustrator. When she was working on this story she asked her kids what the baby goat should wear? (Janet likes to dress her characters in clothing.) The biggest goat sporting huge horns wears a black leather jacket and is tough looking. Certainly he will scare the troll. The middle goat has on really baggy pants so he looks way too small to eat. Her kids thought the baby goat should have on a small tee-shirt and have a binky tied on a string around his neck. Janet added the outfit and created one of the cutest versions of the story. The troll is hideous looking, but the fun of the goats get-ups leaves children laughing.
