Three Billy Goats Gruff

Three goats knock down a troll who lives under a bridge.
I think that this book is very rhythmic. Small goat walks over the bridge, big goat walks, and very big goat walks. The simple evolution and refrain are very rhythmic.

I remembered that I have read this book in Japanese when I was a child. Japanese title is “Garagara-don of three goats”. “Garagara-don” means probably nothing. I guess that the author respected for the rhythmic sound of words, so the translator respected them too.

I was terrified at the troll.
But I feel proud now, because I can read this book without a fear.
I am adult!＼(^_^)／
