The Three Billy Goats Gruff

Once there was a bridge and a terrible and VERY hungry troll lived
underneath it. When the three Billy Goats Gruff decide to clip
clop across the bridge to get to the grassy ridge, the troll is already
imagining all the way to prepare a delicious goat dinner.
But the troll underestimates those seemingly sweet but oh-so-savvy
goats!

A brilliant retelling of the well-loved classic The
Three Billy Goats Gruff – with a hilarious twist!

I am a troll. I live to eat.
I love the sound
of hooves and feet
and paws and claws on cobblestones.
For that’s the sound of meat and bones!



What lives under the bridge? A terrifying troll who is always
hungry!


And this troll loves to gobble up anyone who dares to cross the
bridge, but his favourite of all is billy goat: goat rump in
a honey glaze, curried goat and goat smeared on toast –
you name it, this troll LOVES it!


So, when the three Billy Goats Gruff decide to
clip clop clip clop across the bridge, the troll is already
imagining all the scrumptious ways to fill his belly.


But what if the troll is about to underestimate those seemingly
sweet goats… And bite off more than he can chew!
