The Three Goats Bramble
The Real Story of the Troll Under the Bridge
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
What if the troll under the bridge wasn’t trying to scare anyone—what if he simply couldn’t see very well?
The Three Goats Bramble turns a familiar fairy tale into a funny and heartwarming adventure filled with unexpected discoveries. When Veronica, Thomas, and Annie Bramble encounter Timmer the troll, they soon realize there may be more to his troublesome behavior than they first thought.
Instead of running away, the three goats look a little closer—and discover that sometimes understanding someone begins with figuring out what they really need.
Perfect for preschool and early elementary read-alouds, this playful retelling invites children to compare the story with the traditional tale while naturally opening conversations about empathy, problem-solving, helping others, differences, and looking beyond first impressions.
Featuring the SpiroStyle™ Read-Aloud Format: Children enjoy an uninterrupted view of the full-page illustrations while the reader follows the story text from the reverse side—making it especially engaging for classrooms, libraries, story times, and family read-alouds.
And the adventure doesn’t have to end when the book closes. Free companion ideas and hands-on story experiences are available at SpiroTales.com, helping teachers and families step into Trip-Trap Hollow and bring the story to life.
The Three Goats Bramble — because sometimes the person who seems troublesome may simply need someone willing to understand.
