The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
Taken from the translation of G.W Dasent and Illustrated by Marcia Brown
An ALA Notable Book
The Three Billy Goats Gruff is a traditional literature folktale meant for six, seven, and eight-year-olds that follows the journey of three billy goats who all have the same name, Gruff. The billy goats decide to take a journey up the mountain but along the way, they encounter a big ugly troll that lives underneath a bridge they must cross. Each billy goat faces the troll and passes him off to the goat that is following until finally, the Big Billy Goat Gruff must face the troll and defeat him. The three goats all end up making it to the top of the mountain where the live happy, well-fed lives.
My evaluation of this book is that it is great for a read-aloud and is also great for teaching letters, more specifically the letter G. Students could listen to the story and afterward, return to their desk to complete an activity where they talk about the letter G, its sounds, its appearance, and list some other words that start with G.
