The Three Billy Goats Gruff (Ladybird First Favourite Tales)
This traditional tale has been reworked for the Ladybird First Favourite Tales series, with child-like illustrations and easy to follow text.
Most adults will be familiar with the story of the three billy goats, the troll and the bridge. A time-worn tale indeed, but one that still tickles and entertains youngsters (particularly if, like me, you can't help but read these books while doing daft voices for all the characters).
Irene Yates has done a nice job of making the book approachable for early readers, but also entertaining for children being read to.

Daddy's favourite bit - The troll's well deserved demise.

The Three Billy Goats Gruff Lift the Flap Book
The Three Billy Goats Gruff Lift the Flap Fairy Tale
Adapted from the original tale by Stephen Tucker
Illustrated by Nick Sharratt
Published by Macmillan Children's Books
Modernising a classic fairy tale for a young (and fidgety) audience, Stephen Tucker and Nick Sharratt have come up with a winning formula of bold illustrations connected to a bouncy rhyming version of the classic fairy tale.
You may think you know the tale inside out but are you prepared to meet the hungriest troll in the world? Cooking up plenty of recipe ideas for his favourite food, Goat, the nasty Troll is easily the star of the book. Great pictures and lots of interesting flaps to lift and discover for enquiring toddlers.
Charlotte's best bit: The Troll's house under the bridge
Daddy's favourite bit: Goat Burgers (which actually made me feel quite hungry)
