The Three Bully Goats

When Gruff, Ruff, and Tuff, bully their way across a bridge and into a meadow—teasing a kind ogre and butting small animals along the way. The ogre, frustrated that being friendly and polite didn’t work, hatches a plan to teach the “bully” goats a lesson. This twist on The Three Billy Goats Gruff is a great read-aloud (and discussion starter) will have kids laughing in the aisles.

Reviews

  • That’s right, it’s bully goats—a smart and timely idea for breathing new life into a classic…most of the fun comes from seeing a fairy tale’s tables turned–and turned again.

    - Publishers Weekly

  • A good springboard for both bullying conversations and problem-solving sessions.

    - Kirkus Reviews

  • Neon-bright colors accent the smug goats, while Little Ogre looks like a troll doll with a hot-pink, spiky Mohawk and iridescent green body. With bullying a hot issue these days, teachers can pair this with any number of other versions to get the message across.

    - Booklist

  • Children will enjoy reading and looking at the pictures of this delightful new version; it would be an excellent independent reading book for a school’s anti-bullying program…Because there is not much literature about bullying for this age group, The Three Bully Goats would make an excellent selection for the library collection.
