A grumpy troll! The five musician friends are temporarily distraught when their instruments begin to make farm animal sounds. But with some creativity and a little help from the troll’s wife, the magic spell is reversed.
This is a much lesser known Lobel book. If you’re okay with the magical element, it’s a decent little story. Just know it has a rather weak ending.
Hope this was helpful!
