CIP Info Three Billy goats, unable to cross a bridge because they can’t pay the toll, form a car pool with the Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack of the Beanstalk fame to get past the rude troll.

I am a fan of Margie Palatini’s books. While there are funny parts of this book, overall it isn’t really funny, not like Tub-boo-boo or Web files. The illustrations are OK, but again not my favorite. I love the way Palatini takes popular folktales and adds a modern twist. I am not sure what is missing, but I finished the book wanting something more.
