Beautifully illustrated and really nicely sized book and a great value for the price. The issue is, its just not a great story. It's ok. So if this is a nostalgic book for you than it's a great buy. If this is not a book you're looking to relive for memory's sake than I'd skip it.

That 3rd Billy Goat was pretty ruff with that troll. Might want to soften it up a bit.

Illustrations are lovely.. I guess a few pages took me by surprise and I kinda sensor some pages for my kids they're still very little. I'm maybe being overly sensitive but I thought the goat was overly mean to the troll. I suppose this is the classic story though.

I've never actually heard the tale of The Three Billy Goats Gruff, but I've heard the name before. It was much more violent than I expected for a children's story.

The artwork was fantastic, but I purchased the Kindle version and was disappointed for $4.95 because the pictures and text were redundant on the pages like they had been scanned and didn't transfer correctly. It wasn't worth $5 for the quality of the Kindle version although the pictures were excellent. They were duplicated (the images) and the text appeared once as very tiny and hard to read, then on the next page was the same text in a bigger font and readable. This was the first time I had a bad experience with a Kindle version of a book. A shame since the book itself is outstanding. I had bought the Kindle version to display the book for my class on the screen using an LCD projector and my iPad, but it didn't appear as a normal book due to the redundancy.
