This edition is made up of seven different stories that we spread out over a few days.

They are as follows:

Exactly what it sounds like. The LGB retelling of the movies. Cute stylized illustrations.

Dance! Hug! Sing! -
No plot. Just info about the Trolls.

Drop the Beat! -
Biggie misunderstands DJ Suki, but she gets a song out of it.

Pet Problem Trolls -
The trolls take care of a giant spider monster for the day, and then return it to its family.

Everything that Glitters is Guy-
Guy leaves a glitter trail to a party for the trolls.

Out of Branch's Bunker -
A retelling of the movie from Branch's point of View

A good collection of Trolls stories, all which can be read aloud in about 5 minutes.

I was a little disappointed when I realized this book just contains 8 Trolls stories that are told in other books, four of which I had already read. The stories are Trolls Little Golden Book, Dance! Hug! Sing!, Drop the Beat!, Pet Problem Trolls, Everything That Glitters is Guy!, Out of Branch's Bunker, The Sound of Spring, and Happy Troll-O-Ween!.

I did enjoy reading some of the Trolls stories that I had not read before. I especially liked "Out of Branch's Bunker", which is basically the story told in the movie from Branch's perspective. "Dance! Hug! Sing!" is also nice because it goes through the main characters and some of their defining features, which is great for kids just getting in to Trolls or for parents who are completely flabbergasted by this new Trolls phenomenon.

Good variety of stories and artwork styles, which makes the book interesting. Plus, for $12.99, it's a pretty good deal considering buying each book separately would be much more expensive. Good collection for avid Trolls fans.

You can look for my separate reviews of the stories Drop the Beat!, Everything That Glitters is Guy!, The Sound of Spring, and Happy Troll-O-Ween! on Goodreads or by searching them on my blog Craft-Cycle.

I preordered this book, so I was excited when it showed up. We hadn’t purchased many of the smaller paperback Trolls stories. Only the Big Golden Book of Trolls. *If, I had purchased the other little books, I would have been a bit disappointed. But I did not, so I was excited.

The storylines are all fairly cute and simple. There did seem to be a couple minor things a bit different than the movies/tv shows/etc.

-Poppy finds a baby Tarantapuff and takes her to Ginger Jo to help raise him. Instead, Bridget the Bergen helps take it home to his family.

-Branch hears a chirping sound everywhere. Turns out, a little egg of a bird like creature was in his hair. It hatched and was able to find his mom.

-Guy Diamond leaves trails of glitter everywhere and Poppy follows where they lead.

-Branch’s version of the whole Trolls story

-Alternative retelling of Trolls

-and more.

Very durable, I love the feel of the softer hard cover. Pages are cute and stylish.

Most of these stories are repeats from other books, tell the story of the movie, or are more short informative clips rather than a full story. It is a fun and simple collection for small children, but if you're collecting Trolls stories, it will seem very duplicative. As with most Trolls stories, you'll find lots of sparkles and they love playing with the text to make it more artsy, just like Poppy's scrapbook. Stories in this collection include the following:

Trolls
Dance! Hug! Sing!
Drop the Beat!
Everything That Glitters is Guy!
Out of Branch's Bunker
The Sound of Spring
Happy Troll-O-Ween

If the first book you read in the new year sets the tone for the rest of the year, than 2024 is going to be the year of singing and dancing and hugging, and singing and hugging, and dancing and hugging over and over and over again.

For me, it was fine? The kids, especially Evie, LOVED IT. And they haven't even seen the movie! I couldn't even entertain the thought of leaving this at Poppa's house in AZ because I honestly didn't want to listen to how much they missed that book. You damn well bet I surprised them on the plane with it on the way home.

8, 5-minute tales based off characters from the Dreamworks movie Trolls. Cute and engaging stories. The first story is a recap of the movie and their is a second version of the story told later from Branches viewpoint. All the rest are fun original stories that praise friendship!

Very educational

[Ali · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bit repetitive. Very derivative of the movie franchise. Not my favourite but still enjoyable for the family.
