'The Three Billy Goats Gruff' encourages creative problem solving and develops decision making skills. The story could be used to prompt children to weigh up different outcomes and possibilities: why did the first two billy goats tell the troll to wait for their brother? What would have happened if the last billy goat had not been so brave? What else could they have tried? One of the more subtle stories in this collection, 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff' can also be used to discuss whether folktales always have moral messages.
