Reach for this book when your child is facing a neighborhood or schoolyard bully and needs a playful way to process those big feelings of intimidation. This energetic retelling of the classic Norwegian folktale follows three goat brothers who must cross a bridge guarded by a grumpy, hungry troll to reach the lush grass on the other side. By using their wits and sticking together, they prove that brains often beat brawn. Janet Stevens breathes new life into the story with humor that appeals to preschool and early elementary children. The visual progression from the youngest goat in diapers to the eldest in a leather jacket offers a subtle metaphor for growing up and gaining the confidence to handle life's obstacles. It is an excellent tool for discussing clever problem-solving and the importance of standing one's ground against unfair treatment.
