Funny, original and short (mostly 2 pages, with illustrations) stories featuring trolls (the traditional, scandinavian type).
July 22, 2016
This picture book has seven brief troll tales. Some of the stories have fun twists, all have a moral. They are: The Perfect Wife, Buggly and the Sleepy Bear, The Lamb That Made Mittens, The Curse of the Troll King, The Potato Party, The Troll and the Rhyming Bridge, and The Fish Contest.
The illustrations are playful, but some readers might wonder if less white space could've showcased the settings and mythology better? The illustrations also usually match the text instead of expanding on the text, which can make children impatient during repeated readings. Thus, probably not worth buying, but a fun book from the library for a few reads.
