The cover of this book has some of the most expressive eyes I've seen for ages. The goats are still grazing on almost anything but this retelling has what my children would call 'cool' language. (At least, I think that's what it is!) The modern vocabulary and the bright, lively pictures give this traditional story a freshness that it had the first time we all heard it. The troll still blusters and the goats still think their way out of a sticky situation.
