Who’s that Tripping over my Bridge? by Coleen Salley

$15.95

Up the Mississippi River from New Orleans, north of Baton Rouge, lie the green hills and lush pastures of the Felicianas. Three billy goats, brothers by the name of Gruff, dream of eating all that fresh green grass and making themselves fat. But to get there, they have to cross Thompson Creek. There’s only one bridge and under that bridge lives a very scary troll. When anyone tries to cross, he roars, “WHO’S THAT TRIPPING OVER MY BRIDGE?” Then he catches them and gobbles them right up! Will the three billy goats make it across the bridge? Or is the ugly troll the only one who’s going to get fat?

Based on the old Norwegian tale of Three Billy Goats Gruff, this is the first book by renowned storyteller Coleen Salley. Her spirited text, combined with Amy Jackson Dixon’s vibrant illustrations, gives this classic a spicy Louisiana touch.
