Synopsis:

Through gaps in the roof we didn’t repair

through cracks in the walls we pretended weren’t there…

…the trolls have come creeping

while we were all sleeping.

Trolls on your chair, trolls in your bed –

is anything worse than a troll on your head?

What happens when your house is invaded by trolls – mischievous creatures who do nothing but cause havoc and mayhem? Find out in this zany and charming book which tells you how to get rid of them for good and make your house a troll-free zone!

My Thoughts:

This is a fun book aimed for children around 3-7 years old.  Ron has created some very roguish characters that take over a house.  Then explains how to get them out.  This is a book to be read aloud, emphasising the whirls, the fizzes, the whizzes to engage a younger listener.  This is a fun story showing the humorous antics of the “snot dribbling, fart ripping and boot clumping” Trolls.

The illustrations are funny and fit wonderfully with the story being told.  Each one seems to be a little different and you can work out who is who when mentioned in the story.

A great little 32 page book, colourful, funny and perfect for being read aloud.  Perfect for young and old readers 🙂 I loved the Trolls with their antics, chaos and mayhem.  I am now off to Troll Proof my house!

Synopsis:

It’s the Day of the Trolls: Fart-Fart and all the trolls are back! Join them in the shopping mall where they go wild, causing havoc as they overrun the place. But when they follow sign saying All Trolls – This Way, things turn out very differently to what Flycatcher, Bumscratcher, SnotFace, Squeer and the rest of them expected …

My Thoughts:

Day of the Trolls.  What happens when the Trolls have a day out?  Well chaos and mayhem ensue of course.

In this story we get to meet some of the other characters, as well as discovering what they eat and also how rude they actually are.  Again a read aloud book for best results. This one takes the rudeness a little bit further with the roguish antics of the Trolls, and I think children will love listening to what happens when the Trolls are out on the loose.  I am not sure how I feel about Trolls burping in your face, but the fart power I know will get a lot sniggering and giggling from an audience who are both young and old.

Again a book aimed at younger readers from 3 up to grandparents:)
