Eh. All stories from other collections-and, despite the 'Children's Book' title...it's not.
Sorry but describing the size of a troll penis 'hanging from gonk hair between his legs' and how bad the protagonist wants to put his hands between a girl's legs and a troll sniffing between her legs (Neil seems obsessed with 'between legs'.....it's cringey AF and gross. Sorry Neil.)
Oh and then the troll 'lies down on top of him'.
Um. K.
Frankly there doesn't seem to be a purpose to that story other than to describe a awful, nasty person, and to get in as many references to "between someone's legs" as possible.
Story of animal abuse. I can't do that.

'How to sell Pontus Bridge' was just....boring. Like watching/listening to accountants talk.

Kind of weird they deliberately aim this at kids, with the title and 'author of Coraline' splayed across the top.....
It's NOT for kids.
