In this entry in the Growing Tree series, the publisher copyrights
the text, while Carpenter provides illustrations for the story;
here, the three billy goats named Gruff play on a nasty troll's
greed to get where the grass is greenest. Logic has never been the
long suit of this tale: Instead of letting the two smaller billy
goats be terrorized by the mean and ugly troll, children wonder,
why doesn't the biggest billy goat step in sooner?. It's still a
good introduction to comparatives, and the repetitiveness of the
story invites participation. The artwork matches the story: The
characters are suitably menacing, quivering, or stalwart, and the
perspectives allow readers to be right there in the thick of the
action. (Kirkus Reviews)
This classic story is a favorite with toddlers, who will cheer on the three clever billy goats who outsmart a mean troll. With plenty of repetition, this adventure is perfect for reading aloud and for joining in, and a satisfying ending provides a reassuring touch.
