About the book:
Three goats look longingly at the green grass on the other side of a river. One by one, they cross the bridge, and meet a mean, ugly troll who threatens to eat them. The first small goat says to wait for his bigger, juicier middle brother. He says to wait for the bigger, tastier brother. When the biggest goat crosses the bridge and butts the troll right into the river, washing him away forever. The story is based on a Norwegian fairytale.
