Illustrated by
James Stimson.
In this fractured-fairy-tale version of "The Three Billy Goats Gruff" narrated by a moose, the baby troll uses her expert knowledge of the grammatical double negative to best the Bully Goat with "Random Hostility Syndrome." Quirky (if pointless) misspellings--explained in the "Glossary and Hoofnotes"--and (creepily) funny illustrations may appeal to some young readers. Audio CD included.
