Best Children's Books of the Year 2012, Bank Street College When Gruff, Ruff, and Tuff, bully their way across a bridge and into a meadow—teasing a kind ogre and butting small animals along the way.

This twist on The Three Billy Goats Gruff is a great read-aloud (and discussion starter) will have kids laughing in the aisles.
The "Goat with Three Kids" tells the story of a mother, on a quest to win her kids back when they fail to take her advice and let the bad wolf bring havoc to their home. The Grand Fairy Tales adaptation of the original Romanian version (written by Ion Creanga in 1875) has a happy ending, skips the descriptive parts and puts the emphasis on the morale of the story. The disobedient kids are having a hard time, but the love of their mother finds a way to bring them back, even in a most difficult situation. In the end the kids learn from their mistake and the mother is rewarded through her congeniality and love.
