Three Billy Goats Gruff

No challenge, however daunting, is insurmountable. That’s what fairy tales teach us again and again with David versus Goliath clarity.
Sure, your opponent may be bigger and stronger, but that is no reason to give up hope. If you have brains and courage on your side, the battle is half won.
Such is the case for the Three Billy Goats Gruff bedtime story. They long to graze in the lush fields on the other side of the ravine. But an angry, goat-eating ogre lives under the only bridge to get there. Will the troll stop them?
At first, yes. The Billy Goats Gruff are afraid of the ogre. But the biggest goat comes up with a plan to outsmart the troll.
Will it work? The plan tests the goat brothers’ courage, but they are rewarded in the end.
You and your children may follow along with our brave little heroes as they use their wits and cunning to outsmart the ogre. Based on the classic Norwegian fairy tale, this interactive story allows readers and listeners to match wits with the goats, helping them to cross the bridge and eat grass to their hearts’ content! An excellent story to boost the confidence of children who are intimidated by bullies, or bigger, ‘scarier’ children.
