The Bully Goat Grim: A Maynard Moose Tale

40 pp. | August/Little Folk | August, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-87483-952-4 $18.95
(4) K-3 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.
