The Three Billy Goats Gruff by Paul Galdone is a classic tale with beautiful illustrations. One of my favorite classroom activities to do with this book is to have students act it out. This book is nostalgic as I have read it since my childhood. The Three Billy Goats Gruff is a great story and I would recommend this book to anyone.

The Three Billy Goats Gruff is a classic fairytale that will have any kid cheering on the clever goats who are trying to outsmart a troll. This book makes an amazing read aloud and would be great to act out at school. Hop into this adventure with illustrations created by Paul Galdone. This classic deserves nothing than a pick from me!

“There was very little grass in the valley
and the Billy Goats were hungry,
They wanted to go up the hillside
to a fine meadow full of grass and daisies
where they could eat and eat and eat, and ger far.”

Every toddler I‘ve had the privilege of reading this story too has begged for it to be repeated time after time. It‘s a classic tale that deserves the praise it receives from its target audience.

Traditional. Great telling of the classic story of the three billy goats gruff. The illustrations to really bring the story and the characters to life making the classic tale even more appealing. The author uses text features like font size to bring the story to life. Great read and awesome retelling of the classic tale.

I think this book was cute. I think it was about to stick up for yourself even when it is hard sometimes.

This book was published in 1973. The illustrations are very precise and children would really enjoy seeing the animals in human form. The story line was okay.

Another twist on a classic tale about 3 brother goats who face their fear of the ugly mean Troll. The author shows his love of nature and animals throughout this books and the illustrations are fine lined and detailed.

“Well, come along! I've got two spears,
And I'll poke your eyeballs out at your ears;
I've got besides two curling-stones,
And I'll crush you to bits, body and bones.“

“TRIP, TRAP, TRIP, TRAP,” over the bridge. (example of onomatopoeia)

blurb

the main reason I like this story and would like it in my classroom is for the repetition and all the onomatopoeias.

This classic story is adventurous and funny, with lots of repetition. Three billy goats work together to trick a mean troll, because the troll just wants to eat them. This story is written in a way understandable for young children and is a good nursery rhyme. It‘s also a good representation of family/friends sticking together in hard times.

“So snip, snap, snout, This tale told out.”. I liked the use of onomatopoeia in this book throughout the story, especially how they ended the story with it.

blurb

I would read this children to teach them that bigger isn‘t always better.

This story is based on the original troll bridge folktale, focusing specifically on cumulative tales. I enjoyed the illustrations a lot as it made the story very simple. The billy goats were illustrated to look good and the troll was illustrated to look bad. It did a very good job personifying the goats and making them human.

The Three Billy Goats Gruff is written by Paul Galdone and was published in 1973. The story goes through 3 goats who attempt to cross the bridge. However, under the bridge, lives a small troll who wants to eat the goats! The final and largest goat allows the troll to try to eat him but fights back and wins because he is stronger!
