(2) K-3 Schoolyard dynamics set the course for this freewheeling variant, with three human kids skipping across the bridge and truant-playing Ugly-Boy Bobby in place of a troll. Ugly-Boy Bobby is vanquished by the threat feared by bullies everywhere: "mushy kisses." The Hassetts' playful bandying about of stereotypes gives the story its charm. The olive-and-rust toned art is never drab due to the quirky details scattered about the pictures.
