What is The Three Billy Goats Gruff about?

Three hungry billy goats want to reach the lush green meadow on the other side of the river, but a hungry troll guards the bridge. One by one, the goats set off, trip-trapping across the wooden boards while the troll threatens to gobble them up. The smallest goat has a clever idea, and soon the brothers are working together to outwit their fierce enemy. With lively rhythm, repetition and playful illustrations, this traditional fairy tale brings the adventure to life for young children.
