The Three Silly Billies

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Barry Moser. In this take-off on "The Three Billy Goats Gruff," a modern-day troll charges a dollar to use his bridge. The three goats join forces with several other folktale characters, including the Three Bears, until they have enough coins to pay the toll. Moser's watercolors, full of humorous contemporary details, are a good match for the clever wordplay in this tale.
