A classroom extension for this book would be to find multiples and use it in a shared or guided reading lesson. Another idea would be to let the kids act out the story as I did in school.

Summary:This is a traditional literature story about three goats who wanted to cross a bridge to eat the sweeter grass on the other side. As each goat crossed the bridge, they encountered a mean troll who wanted to eat them. By cleverly outwitting the evil troll, the first two goats passed with
Personal Reaction: I thought this was a very humorous book. It is a classic which young readers would enjoy.
Classroom Extension Ideas:
A. Recreate this story. I would have a student be the troll and three other students would reenact the three goats. Of course we would not forcefully throw the young troll student in water, but if the troll tagged a goat, that goat would be the next troll.
B. This could also be told by a puppet show or stuffed animal show.

Summary:
A retelling of an old folk tale, where three goat brothers outsmart a troll that intends to stop them eat them while they are crossing a bridge to eat grass. Very short and simple.
Personal Reaction:
I like old tales, especially ones like this that are not only simple but give a good message
Classroom Extension:
I guess reviving old tales in the classroom would be fun, maybe teaching the kids about the greed aspect and its negative outcome in the book.
