Trouble with Trolls

This book Trouble With Trolls is a great book for both readers young and old. It is about a girl named Treva who decides to take a hike over a mountain to see her cousin. On the way up the mountain Treva runs into some trolls who want her dog,but she tricks them by giving them her boots and things like that. In the end she gets away with her dog and all her stuff back. I enjoyed this book alot myself and if you have kids I'm sure they would enjoy it to.

My preschool daughter and I absolutely LOVE this book! The illustrations are gorgeous and there is a second storyline with a mischievous hedgehog raiding the trolls den on the bottom of the page - it is like two stories in one! The story is simple, amusing, well written and the clever protagonist, a Norwegian (?) girl, Treva is very charming. As soon as I discovered Jan Brett's books I started collecting several others - they are such a treat to read and look at!

My 3-year-old daughter and 4-year-old-son adore this book. As with any Jan Brett book, the illustrations are fantastic. This story is solid, too, and shows "girl power" at its simplest and sweetest. The heroine, Treva, outwits trolls who want to steal her dog and keep him. My daughter, who looks like a younger version of the herione, Treva, tells me, "Treva is smart!" Treva can also ski well, too. I still prefer Jan Brett's "Annie and the Wild Animals", but this is right up there with "Annie" and "The Mitten" as one of our favorite books to read.

This is one our favorite books. Not only is the story clever and suspenseful for kids, it is beautifully illustrated. Our family, which consists of 3 boys, thoroughly enjoys reading this book together.

My 4 year-old daughter and I love this book. Treva, the main character, really knows how to use her noodle to outwit the trolls she encounters on her way over Mount Baldy. This book is beautifully illustrated (as you would expect from Jan Brett), the story is captivating and it promotes a positive view of girls who can think for themselves and overcome life's obstacles! My family highly recommends this book.
