Three Billy Goats Buff (Classic) - Fairytale Story for Kids
Three goat siblings set off on a quest to reach the hill with the healthiest snacks when they butt heads with a very hangry troll. Are they fit for the challenge? Will it take brains or brawn to beat the troll and cross the bridge? Each goat must use their own special strengths to outsmart the greedy troll and protect one another. Clever tricks, sibling teamwork, and one very surprised flying troll will leave you rolling in clover.
This reimagined story of the Norwegian fairytale, Three Billy Goats Gruff, is a Dorktales Classic.
