A lively twist on a classic fairy tale, full of character and fun, from the acclaimed creator of the USBBY-honored A Year in Our New Garden.
When Goldilocks gets lost in the woods, she discovers a pretty house where everything comes in three sizes; big, medium and very little! Who could live here? And what will happen when they find Goldilocks sleeping in their home?
This classic tale about curiosity and respect is given a lively twist by renowned author and illustrator Gerda Muller, creator of USBBY-honored A Year in Our New Garden, and is bursting with detail and character on every page.
Praise for the first edition:
'Children will relish the myriad small details in the artwork, including the many objects that come in threes; beekeeping stations near the house, balls along the path, piggy banks on the nightstand, bear-shaped chairbacks, bear-themed art on the walls, and bear-head umbrella handles... While there are many versions of this story out there, here's one worth adding to collections.'
– Booklist Online
'Muller's version of the three bears adds a delightful mix of tradition and the modern day... Muller's illustrations are done in an understated color palette with dashes of vivacious reds. The bears' home is wonderfully traditional with a Dutch door, carved wooden chairs, and matching comforters on the beds in different colors but all with a bee motif. No one will wonder why Goldilocks enters and stays. It is all so very inviting and cozy... This is a cheery and slightly modernized version of the traditional story that will be welcome in library collections or as a great bedtime pick.'
