Bookroo's summary

In a whimsical twist on a classic tale, Goatilocks, a curious goat, can't resist the allure of the Bear family's home. She samples their porridge, chairs, and even beds, leaving a trail of chaos. As the bears return from their walk, the question looms: has Goatilocks eaten her way into trouble? This playful adventure promises laughter and surprises as Goatilocks navigates the consequences of her appetite. Will the bears find their home in disarray, or will Goatilocks find a way to make amends? Discover the hilarity that ensues in this delightful retelling.

From the publisher

Goatilocks gobbles more than porridge in this fractured fairy tale that puts a hilarious twist on a favorite story. Once upon a time, there was a kid named Goatilocks.She lived down the road from a family of bears… Goatilocks can’t resist sampling first Papa Bear’s porridge, then Mama Bear’s porridge, then Baby Bear’s porridge–and his bowl and spoon, too. And it turns out Goatilocks has a taste for chairs and beds as well. Has Goatilocks devoured her way to disaster? What will happen when the Bear family returns home from their walk? This playful adaptation of a favorite fairy tale is full of tummy-rumbling fun.
