The Three Billy Goats Gruff (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781530897261)

Create a fond memory of parent and child, cuddling together and giggling as they turn the pages of 'Three Billy Goats Gruff.'

Susan Price, who wrote the words, is a well-known writer for children and young people, who won the prestigious Carnegie medal for her work. Andrew Price is an accomplished graphic artist who provides illustrations full of humour, colour and character.

This well-known, traditional story of 'Three Billy Goats Gruff' tells how the goats outwit a troll and live to feast on the greener grass at the other side of the bridge.

Each page is packed with detail. It's told in a vivid, comic-book style, with sound-effects arching across pages and the words in many speech-bubbles begging to be shouted aloud. Plenty of opportunity to enjoy making a noise together!

The text is short, but full of repeated phrases and rhymes. Children will soon be able to join in the telling, as well as learning to recognise many of the printed words.

Early prowess in reading pays dividends throughout a child's education: and learning to listen to and follow a story is a valuable skill in itself. Encouraging a love of stories and reading is perhaps the greatest boost a parent can give to their child's education - as well as the opportunity to be close and enjoy the tale.

If you and your child love reading funny, exciting, page-turning picture-books together, then you'll both love Susan and Andrew Price's fresh retelling of 'Three Billy Goats Gruff.'
