Bookroo's summary

In a whimsical twist on a classic tale, a jump-roping girl with a penchant for rhymes stumbles into a bear family's home. Her playful antics and saucy rhymes create a comical clash with the bears' refined lifestyle. As she explores their cottage, leaving chaos in her wake, the bears return to find their world turned upside down. Will this unexpected encounter lead to a surprising resolution, or will the bears' patience be tested beyond repair? Dive into this delightful retelling filled with humor and charming details that will captivate both young readers and fairy-tale enthusiasts.

From the publisher

Some stories become favored childhood classics with good reason, such as the tale of Goldilocks. Here, in an abundantly funny retelling, the timehonored drama unfolds. This outrageously frilly, jump-roping Goldilocks skips through the bears’ house, reciting saucy rhymes as she goes. Her wide-eyed glee makes a hilarious contrast with the genteel bear family, and children will love poring over the wonderful visual details, such as the bear-related knickknacks slyly scattered throughout the cottage. Another outstanding collaboration from Caralyn and Mark Buehner, “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” is perfect for sharing with children, adults, and fairy-tale collectors alike. “
