My First Nursery Stories
by Tony Ross
First, meet the three Billy Goats Gruff, trying to cross a rickety old bridge, with a pustulous, ravenous and terrifyingly toothy troll underneath.
Laugh at the eccentric old gentleman growing an enormous turnip. Shake your head at daft Henny-Penny and sympathise with the not-quite-fast-enough Gingerbread Man.
Marvel at the third little pig's intelligence, at the hunter who rescues Little Red Riding Hood and at brave Jack, who climbs the beanstalk three times. Finally, discover why Goldilocks will never again eat someone else's porridge without asking them first...
