Bookroo's summary

Goldenlocks finds herself aboard a pirate ship where nothing is quite right. With a pilfering Papa, a menacing Mama, and a bonny Baby pirate, this crew's housekeeping leaves much to be desired. As Goldenlocks explores their seaworthy sloop, she discovers untasty gruel, wobbly stools, and poorly hung hammocks. What happens when the pirates return? Dive into this swashbuckling twist on a classic tale, where adventure and mischief are just around the corner.

From the publisher

A fun and clever picture book retelling of Goldilocks—with pirates! Once upon a seaworthy sloop lived three pirates: the big, pilfering Papa, the medium-sized, menacing Mama, and the small, bonny Baby, a pirate-in-training. They were excellent pirates, but not very good housekeepers, so their gruel wasn’t tasty, their stools weren’t sturdy, and their hammocks weren’t hung properly. Luckily for them, Goldenlocks happened along when they were out for a row in the harbor. April Jones Prince’s rollicking text and Steven Salerno’s swashbuckling paintings make Goldenlocks and the Three Pirates a first-rate adventure and a spirited take on Goldilocks.
