In this bright and breezy retelling of the Brothers Grimm storytime favorite, the three Billygoats Gruff find themselves yearning for the delectable treats on the other side of their island. However, to get there, they first must cross a bridge...a bridge guarded by Calypso Joe, the self-proclaimed "meanest troll dis part of de island." Joe demands a toll from the goats, warning of a "big problem" if it isn?t paid. But Joe soon learns that he?s the one with the "big problem" -- in the form of a goat twice his size. Told in a lilting Caribbean dialect so lush, you can practically feel the warm island breezes.
