'The Goats Gruff and the Baa-dly Built Bridge' by Jason M. Burns with art by Dustin Evans is a graphic novel in the STEM Fairy Tales series.

Weaving the story of the billy goats gruff with principles of bridge construction, we see the goats cross a crumbling bridge built by the troll who lives underneath. Will his own bridge be his undoing?

This was a fun read with just the right amount of great engineering information fed along the way. The art was fun too and makes this a great read for younger readers.

3.5/5 This fun, STEM focused retelling of the classic Billy goats Gruff fairy tale is sure to interest and entertain readers aged 7+ Perfect for use in the classroom when introducing the concept of bridge building this comic strip style picture book encourages critical thinking and curiosity about the world around us in a humourous, engaging way. I'd love to see this made into a cartoon for classroom use as I think it would be high engaging for primary aged pupils and I look forward to reading more from the series.
Thanks to Netgalley.co.uk and Norwood House Press for the free eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
