Great bedtime reading,
This review is from: The Three Billy Goats Gruff (Paperback)
Great illustrations and a very easy to read version of a classic children's tale. Both my 5-year-old and 7-year-old still enjoy it being read to them.

"A Review of Paul Galdone's "Three Billy Goats Gruff",
By Pam Tee "Busy Mom" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Three Billy Goats Gruff (Paperback)
On this page, and on one other page that I know, Amazon has accidentally put the reviews of different versions of classic fairytales together. In this case, you will see reviews of more than one version of "The Billy Goats Gruff".
For example in the "Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal" the reviewer says that the 'goats are angry' and that 'the baby goat is wearing a diaper'. I assure you that none of these elements are present in the Paul Galdone version of the story. Neither is there a black leather jacket. (No wonder the reviewer didn't like it. Sounds dreadful.) What you will find is a classic retelling of the story of troll versus goats; and the usual delightful Galdone artwork. *Look Inside* this book yourself and see. Certainly my family has enjoyed this version. 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful:

Faithful retelling of the fairy tale,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Three Billy Goats Gruff (Paperback)
My boys love this author's version of the Three Little Pigs, so I bought a few more of his fairy tales for them. They also liked this one, but not as much. That might just be because it's not quite as interesting a tale! But the illustrations are well done---especially the troll, who is truly scary looking! This is a good book for a reader who likes to do voices, as you really have to use dramatic effect to show how the biggest billy goat has a loud and intimidating voice while the little one has a tiny and timid voice!

My Son Loved This Version,
By Claire Wadlington "avid reader & startup inve... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Three Billy Goats Gruff (Hardcover)
We have checked out a number of versions of The Three Billy Goats Gruff from the Library when my son was 4. This is the version he liked the most. It is very simple (as one reviewer uses as a reason to reject it) but for some ages, that simplicity is what makes it a favorite.
