A bridge, a troll, and three hungry goats

Three goats want to cross a bridge to reach a hillside meadow, but a troll lives underneath it. That simple obstacle gives the familiar folktale its central question: how will the goats get past him? The description highlights a recurring chorus, giving the story a clear pattern for reading aloud. The meadow, with its grass and daisies, sets the goats’ destination in contrast to the troll’s bridge, where their crossing is in doubt.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in fairy tales and folktales
  • Families seeking a classic story to read aloud
  • Young listeners who enjoy recurring choruses

Book overview

Can the three Billy Goats Gruff cross the troll's bridge without being eaten? Find out in the perfect board book introduction to the beloved must-have classic by two-time Caldecott Honor-winner Paul Galdone.

The three Billy Goats Gruff are hungry! They want to go over the bridge and up the hillside to a fine meadow full of grass and daisies where they can eat and eat and eat.

But under the bridge lives a troll who's as mean as he is ugly... How will they ever get past him?

An energetic, predictable chorus makes for a wonderful read-aloud of this classic tale.
