Her illustrations are part Goodnight Moon with their bold bursts of color, and part Quentin Blake with their roughhewn linework. . . .Little ones won’t be able to resist the hilarious hairy spikes on the troll underneath the bridge. A great read-aloud, offering babies and toddlers a wry introduction to tales as old as time.
