You
know the traditional story of the Three Billy Goat's Gruff. Here's how
it begins:
| Once
upon a time there were Three Billy Goats Gruff.
Their last name was
Gruff.
They loved to eat
nice green grass, but the green grass was on the other side of
the bridge.
A great ugly troll
lived under the bridge and waited for a plump tasty goat to trip
trap across his bridge.
|
What
if you sprinkled the traditional story with a touch of Spanish?
What
if you moved the green grass across the bridge to Mexico?
What
if the ugly troll under the bridge was an enormous
chupacabra, the goat sucker?
What
if you added a touch of music to the story?
What
if you put it into a big book with bright, funny illustrations?
