So everyone knows the story of the Three Billygoats Gruff. This is a fun retelling of the familiar story. This version of the three billygoats takes place in the Caribbean Sea.
I think it is so cute that the mean Calypso Joe has a Caribbean accent in this book. It makes it fun to read in his dialect. Also many of the comparisons in the book are made to island things such as coconuts and seaweed. The illustrations are perfect for the book. There are crabs, and coconuts, and palm trees making it feel tropical. The only thing is that the troll doesn't look like a troll to me? I maybe have the wrong idea of a troll though.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has or hasn't read the original version. It follows the same story line but has just that hint of the islands. The book is recommended for ages 3-7 but any age would enjoy it.
