Reviews

[Runa Begum]

This is a picture book based on the traditional story of Three Billy Goats Gruff. There are colourful pictures with flaps and simple text that has dialogues and rhyming words.

My 4 year old son loved the pictures and the flaps. He found the story a little long but an older child should be happy to listen to it.
