The Three Billy Goats Gruff retold by Mac Barnett illustrated by Jon Klassen*

 I laughed out loud as I read this retelling. Mr. Barnett delightful additions only enhance the old tale. More attention is devoted to the troll and his personality. Humorous twists abound! The changes, however, do not detract from the original story.  I love the theme of "three" throughout the retelling and the troll's clever rhymes.

*Highly recommend.
