Very Enjoyable

We have been taking this book out of the library for over a year now. I will read it to my five year old, take it back and in a while he will ask to get it out again. It is just such fun. The 'bad' guy learns his lesson, a very satisfying story to a little one.

This book is simple amazing! It appeals even to those who have out grown picture books. My friend and i read it on my front porch steps and we were in stitches. This book teaches a good value: That manners are key. I recomend it to anyone who is a fan of the billy goats gruff story!
FUN book!

This is a fun variation on a classic tale. The three billygoats gruff try to cross the island but encounter a mean Joe - Calypso Joe! The dialect in the story is great and adds so much flavor to the book. Joe learns manners at the end - a treat for any picture book reader!Our 3yr old loves it!
