Summary:
This story is like The Three Little Pigs, just told through goats and a troll and has a darker undertone. The Three Billy Goats were wanting to cross a river to get to the other side to go eat some grass and get fat. Each goat crosses over and awakes the troll who is angry and says that the goat is going to get eaten. The first two goats say the same thing, which is to wait until the biggest goat comes along. When that goat comes along he ends up defeating the troll and the three goats are left alone now to eat in peace.
I do not think I would use this book in my classroom because I did not like the writing style or the darker undertone. It read easy, I just think I would be able to find a different book for this age group.
If I did use this book I would use the different sounds in the book and teach my students sound words.
