Who's That Tripping Over My Bridge?

By Coleen Salley
Illustrated by Amy Jackson Dixon
Pelican Publishing Company, $14.95

Up the Mississippi River from New Orleans, north of Baton Rouge live three billy goats named Gruff. They want to cross Thompson's Creek to reach the lush pastures on the other side, but there's a very scary troll under the bridge who wants to gobble up those billy goats. Told in Ms. Salley's spirited style, with vibrant illustrations by Amy Jackson Dixon, this new version of the Norwegian folktale adds Louisiana spice to an old classic. Watch the legendary storyteller perform one of her books.

Also, available through Pelican Publishing you can order Coleen Salley's storytelling audio tapes: Cajun Night Before Christmas and Gaston the Green-Nosed Alligator
