<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Two billy goats discover the perils of making assumptions and acting on prejudice in this ... tale about online bullying"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Billy Goat and his best friend Cyril are messing about with the farmer's mobile phone, taking selfies and playing games . . . until they find the number for a troll. Their Grandpa Gruff says trolls are bad, so Billy and Cyril decide to get their own back by sending mean messages. After all, trolls really do stink! Don't they?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>In what is definitely<strong>a fable for our times</strong>, a young billy goat finds a lost cell phone and, with a friend, proceeds to take selfies and make prank calls to sibs. But when they find Troll's phone number, they then troll the troll with a series of bullying texts in a clever bit of role reversal ('GET OFF THE BRIDGE!' 'YOU STINK!' 'A MOOSE LOOKS LIKE YOUR MUM'). In the cartoon illustrations, Troll is envisioned as a hideous, hairy green monster, but when the goats reach its lair, all they find is a tiny, tearful minitroll. 'Why do you hate me so?' she sobs. 'Not every troll eats goats, you know.' The remorseful goats put the phone away and proceed to 'play a game called Making Friends / which everyone should play.' Readers primed for a sudden, crunchy resolution, like those found in previous Willis and Ross collaborations (<em>Tadpole's Promise</em>, 2005; <em>Fly, Chick, Fly!</em>, 2012) may be disappointed, but <strong>the episode should spark some discussion of empathy and unintended consequences.</strong>--<em>Booklist </em><br /></p>-- "Website" (3/3/2017 12:00:00 AM)<br>
