Bookroo's summary

Everyone knows what happens when Goldilocks meets three bears, but what about thirty-three bears, a strange-talking Bliim or three little pigs? Allan Ahlberg retells the tale several ways, each with its own twist, and Jessica Ahlberg's pictures add flaps to lift and tabs to pull.

From the publisher

A classic fairy tale is wittily retold by the celebrated Allan Ahlberg, with charming illustrations by his daughter, Jessica Ahlberg. Everyone knows what happened when Goldilocks met the three bears. But when she encounters a whopping thirty-three bears, the strange-talking Bliim, or even three little pigs, the stories end a bit differently. Lift the flaps and pull the tabs to join Goldilocks in a hilarious series of adventures, as award-winning storyteller Allan Ahlberg and his daughter, Jessica, put their own stamp on the timeless tale.
