About This Book

Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen put their own brilliantly funny spin on the classic Norwegian fairy tale of three billy goats who must cross a bridge guarded by a terrible, hungry troll. With Klassen's signature deadpan illustrations and Barnett's clever, comedic storytelling, this retelling brings fresh humor and surprise to the beloved tale.

Why We Love This

The Barnett-Klassen duo delivers again with perfect comedic timing - kids love the troll's menace and the goats' bravado, and the unexpected twists make it fresh even for parents who know the original by heart.
