_“Beneath the bridge, beyond the forest,
where you only go by mistake,
beside a chilling swamp
sleeps a fearsome monster!”_
In this funny fairy tale, there is a terrifying troll who lives hidden under a bridge and enjoys shouting nasty words at passers-by through his beloved megaphone. But what happens when a little rabbit who can’t hear dares to approach his lair? The Troll realises that it isn’t so much fun to say nasty things to someone’s face. Might the Troll finally learn to love himself and others?
A brilliant book about ‘trolling’ and verbal abuse, which encourages discussions about kindness and second chances.
