Description

A fantastically funny fairytale from one of the world's best-loved picture book creators, Emily Gravett, the creator of Tidy, Meerkat Mail, and The Odd Egg.

Everybody in faraway fairytale land is getting ready for a very special party. Except one tiny bridge troll, who is making his own fun - by being extremely rude. With every insult he hurls, with every ego he bruises, he gets bigger and bigger.

How will Cinderella, the three little pigs, and all the other fairytale friends defeat that naughty troll?

Don't Feed the Troll is an entertaining fairytale adventure with a happy ending, perfect for sharing with young children.

About the Author

Emily Gravett has a rare talent for creating exceptional books for children. The winner of two CILIP Kate Greenaway Medals, her skill and wit are second to none. Emily first sprang into the limelight with the ground-breaking Wolves, which has been followed by such modern classics as Meerkat Mail, Little Mouse's Big Book of Fears, Monkey and Me and Again! and the fabulous Bear and Hare series for younger readers, as well as the beautiful Tidy, Old Hat, Cyril and Pat and Meerkat Christmas. Each book is unique and different from the last - and each features endearing, beautifully drawn characters that touch the heart and tickle the funny bone. Emily lives in Wales.
