WHO`S THAT TRIPPING OVER MY BRIDGE? The three Billy Goats Gruff are hungry and want to go over the bridge and up the hillside to a fine meadow full of grass and daisies where they can eat and eat and eat, and get fat. But under the bridge lives a troll who`s as mean as he is With humorous, onomatopoeic language, call-and-answer structure, and colorful illustrations, Paul Galdone`s telling of this familiar tale is great for reading aloud with groups.

The new governess is in sole charge of two orphan children. Although they are both remarkably well-behaved, intelligent and affectionate, she becomes increasingly uneasy. Especially after she sees a stranger seemingly in search of something - or someone; a man whom she discovers is dead, like her predecessor. She then must fight a frightening battle for her pupils and against the forces of evil, a battle in which her victory will be even more terrible.
