The three billy goats gruff is a cute story about three billy goats all named gruff. They are on their way to the meadow to eat and get fat when they come across a bridge. The littlest goat starts to cross when an ugly troll comes from under the bridge and threatens to eat the goat, but the littlest goat tells the troll that his brother is bigger than he is. the troll lets him pass and then threatens to eat the middle goat when he tries to cross. the middle goat tells the troll that his brother is even bigger than he is so the troll lets him cross. When the troll threatens to eat the biggest goat, the big goat pokes his eyes out with his horns and beats him into little pieces. then all three billy goat gruffs go to the meadow and get fat.
i really liked this story because i grew up on this story. i had it read to me so many times when i was a child and i love how smart the goats are.
i would recomend this book to everyone and i will read it to my children.
the only problem i see is the gore when the biggest goat kills the troll.
