Caldecott Medal winner Jerry Pinkney’s latest picture book is
The Three Billy Goats Gruff. This retelling of a Norwegian fairy tale follows three hungry goat brothers who want to cross a bridge to greener pastures for food. The bridge however, is guarded by a mean troll that threaten to eat anything that dares to pass on the bridge. The suspense builds up quickly and the bully meets his match in the end and learns valuable lessons. Beginner readers will enjoy this easy to read and relatable story that introduces the idea of sharing and working together.
The artist uses pencil and watercolour for the illustrations that are printed full page. There is one fold-out page at the climax of the story. If you enjoyed Pinkney’s other books like
The Lion & the Mouse or
The Tortoise & the Hare, you will like this too.
