Ratings and reviews

Paul Galdone is a great author for classic fairy tales, and this is one of them. The art is consistent with his other books, and keeps the reader interested until the end. The evil troll is tricked by the 3 brother goats so that they safely reach the grassy side of the river.

Tried to read this favorite from my childhood, but it displayed very awkwardly with the page breaks. Don't recommend on the Nook.

This was my dad's favorite story. Now I read it to my kids and they love it too!
