The Three Billy Goats Gruff with Author Mac Barnett & Illustrator Jon Klassen

Renowned, award-winning, and New York Times bestselling duo, MAC BARNETT and JON KLASSEN, will present the first in their groundbreaking new collection of fractured Fairy Tale picture books—a hilarious twist on The Three Billy Goats Gruff.

Told with pitch perfect timing, hilarious detail, and Barnett's signature narrator voice, and brought to stunning visual life with Klassen’s brilliantly restrained illustrations, this is Billy Goats Gruff as never before. The Three Billy Goats Gruff is recommended for readers ages 4 - 8. Books will be on sale during the event in partnership with Pages: A Bookstore.

Mac Barnett is the New York Times bestselling author of many picture books, including The Important Thing About Margaret Wise Brown, the New York Times bestselling The Wolf, the Duck, and the Mouse, the Caldecott Honor Book and E.B. White Read Aloud Award-winner Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, and the Caldecott Honor Book and Boston Globe-Horn Book Award-winner Extra Yarn. He is also the coauthor of the bestselling Terrible Two series with Jory John. Mac lives in Oakland, California.

Jon Klassen is an animator and Governor General's Award-winning creator of children's books.
