About the Author

Paul Galdone was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1907 and emigrated to the United States in 1928. After finishing his studies at the Art Student League and the New York School of Industrial Design, Mr. Galdone worked in the art department of a major publishing house. There he was introduced to the process of bookmaking, an activity that was soon to become his lifelong career. Before his death in 1986, Mr. Galdone illustrated almost three hundred books, many of which he himself wrote or retold. He is fondly remembered for his contemporary style, bright earthy humor, and action-filled illustrations, which will continue to delight for generations to come.

I was just reminded of this great retelling of Three Billy Goats Gruff. The suspense and pacing are brilliant. The illustrations are gorgeous AND funny. It was one of my all-time favorite read-alouds when I was a children's librarian. A MUST HAVE!

Great classic story and illustrations. Be aware that it is a HUGE book, however, and will not fit on a book shelf.

This review is from: The Three Billy Goats Gruff Big Book (Paperback)

The illustrations in this book put you right in the middle of the action, with full-page illustrations that seem "zoomed in" on the action. Very compelling. Funny troll, good looking goats. I like to do the voices when I read this one.
