The Troll - A Readers Review

How did a gourmet troll longing to eat a goat meet a groovy gang of pirates longing to find treasure? Julia Donaldson's narrative recipe will awake your literary taste buds.




The text gallops between the troll and the pirates at an inviting pace. As always, the music of the prose will enchant your children's ears as well as yours.




If you are familiar with Julia Donaldson's other books such as the The Gruffalo , The Snail and the Whale or Room on the Broom , then you will find the illustrations by David Roberts very different. His style appeals to all children and adults alike, creating very fashionable characters with fantastic attention to detail when it comes to shoes, clothing and accessories.
