The Hare family—Papa, Mama, and Little Baby Hare—are enjoying a peaceful day in their rabbit hole until they hear a big THUMP outside their door. The thump is Goldilocks herself, who has fallen down the rabbit hole after being chased by the Three Bears. (I think you know why those bears were chasing her.) The Hare family is happy to help the girl, who has hurt her foot. But as you might imagine, Goldie is not a very good houseguest. She is tough to please, since every chair is too hard, too soft, or otherwise not just right. (If you were the Hares, you might agree that Goldilocks is loud, obnoxious, and demanding.) But when Goldie is finally comfy-cozy in the Hares’ rabbit hole, how are they ever going to get her to leave? Margie Palatini and Jack E. Davis bring a hilarious, just-right twist to the nursery classic.

Presents a contemporary takeoff on the familiar folktale.

Presents a contemporary takeoff on the familiar folktale.

A Western-style retelling of the traditional tale about a little girl who finds the house of bear family and makes herself at home.

When Goldilocks enters a little cottage for some food and rest, she doesn't expect to meet three grizzly bears! A beautifully illustrated classic to enjoy again and again.

The three bears decide to get their own back on Goldilocks. When they find her cottage, they wreak havoc on it. What fun they have, throwing cereal around, tangoing on table tops and filling the bathroom with shaving foam! Then Goldilocks returns and they find they have made a terrible mistake.

Goldilocks is fed up with chores and homework, so she builds a spaceship and blasts off for the adventure of her life. With a terrific rhyming text that's great fun for reading aloud, this bright picture book offers a wacky twist on an old favorite. Full color.
