Fantasy
The many renditions of this book detail the story of the three billy goats all named Gruff. They have eaten all the grass on their side of a bridge, so they all try to cross the bridge to get to the grass on the other side. A troll stops each of them, telling them he will eat them if they don't turn back. The biggest and toughest of the three goats eventually gets to the troll and kicks him off the bridge, allowing him and his brothers to pass. It teaches the lesson of patience, being good, and good trumps evil. This is in the fantasy genre because of the troll character, which wouldn't exist in real life; the talking billy goats also wouldn't exist in real life either.
