Vole and Troll by Iza Trapani - ADVISABLE

Vole and Troll
by Iza Trapani.
 PICTURE BOOK Charlesbridge, 2019. $16. 9781580898850 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

A Troll has taken over the bridge and wants to charge a toll to anyone who passes. The vole wants to get to the grass on the other side, so when the troll sings his song (to the tune of "This Old Man) the Vole has an idea! Teach the troll another song and distract him long enough to get over the bridge. But the Vole will need a new song everyday, how long will this trick work? 

A fun sing along book, also includes "The Itsy Bitsy Spider," "The Hokey Pokey" and other fun songs. Such fun to read together, and with a whole class . . . I can see kids taking turns acting it out. Can't wait for story time. Trapani's illustrations are cute too, lots of movement and energy in both the text and pictures.
