Reviews
"Gruff â€" the inveterate naughty nibbler of fairytale fame â€" takes centre stage in a wonderfully tasty and witty tale from bestselling children's author Ross Montgomery … A laugh-out-loud, easy-to-read cake escapade which will go down well with all young mischief-makers!" â€" Lancashire Evening Post
"The Three Billy Goats Gruff takes on a whole new meaning in this charming who-dunnit" -- Scope for Imagination, blog
"A superb early chapter book filled with fun, witty words and lots of humour … but which also teaches children a valuable lesson about jumping to conclusions. There are plenty of gaps between the paragraphs, short text blocks of story and lots of cute, colourful illustrations by Marisa Morea interspersing the wonderful words and these really help to bring the story to life." -- Fiona Eaton, blogger
