The Three Smelly Goats Gruff
Written and read by J.J. & Chris Grabenstein
ABOUT THE BOOK
In this third installment of the hilarious series, Stinky the skunk tells the story of the Three Smelly Goats Gruff, a reimagining of the classic fable “The Three Billy Goats Gruff”—except this time, the fairy tale is told from the troll’s point of view.
It’s story time again at the Hickleberry Elementary School Library! Mrs. Emerson, the librarian, has just read “The Three Billy Goats Gruff” to the class. But after the fun is done and Mrs. Emerson has left, Stinky the stuffed skunk and his stuffy friends come to life. The kids need to know what happened to the grumpy troll after the goats pushed him off the bridge. Lucky for them, Stinky has the scoop!
With illustrations in every chapter from Alex Patrick, reading has never been so much stinkin’ fun!
REVIEWS
“Really perfect for second grade-ish readers. Ample fun illustrations, short chapters, and a large font add to an already appealing premise—library stuffies spinning a silly tale.”
—School Library Journal, Post-It Note Review
“Imaginations get a good, giggle-inducing workout… it would be hard to top this outing for child appeal.”
—Booklist
“The Grabensteins prove they’re masters of second grade silliness.”
—Dan Gutman, bestselling author of the Weird School books
