Well-known fairy tales are mixed together . . . with hilarious results! When she knocks on the door of their brick house, Goldilocks is not the visitor the Three Little Pigs were expecting. But it isn't long before the Big Bad Wolf arrives ... Editorial Reviews "Turner has created a fun-filled romp greatly aided by Macon's very brightly hued cartoons ... Lots of giggles in this delightfully goofy tale." - Kirkus Reviews, STARRED "Tracey Turner mixes up another pair of traditional fairy tales in Jack and the Three Bears, which was published simultaneously. The illustrations in both of the books are wonderfully anarchic, hilarious, and endearing." - Book Reviews, ILA CL/R SIG, "Summer Reading for Elementary and Middle School Readers" "Cartoony, colorful artwork and frenetically paced storytelling make this too much fun to read, and more fun to listen to. Fractured fairy tales fans will love this." - Mom Read It - From the Publisher *2020-12-25 In a mashup of two iconic fairy tales, Goldilocks finds herself in the middle of the Three Little Pigs' battle with the Big Bad Wolf. When Goldilocks spots an unfamiliar brick house in the woods, she must satisfy her curiosity and barge right in. The three pigs living there are hiding in a closet, frightened by the probable reappearance of their archenemy, the Big Bad Wolf. Goldilocks, brazen as always, heads straight for the porridge, trying each one and enjoying the one that is just right. At that point all three pigs realize Goldilocks has involved herself in the wrong fairy tale, and they tell her so. But here comes the wolf, who, failing to blow down the brick house, tries to come down the chimney. Goldilocks and the pigs work together to build a fire that will get rid of him once and for all. (He is singed and scared but otherwise unharmed.) Thus the wrong fairy tale still leads to a happy ending, with Goldilocks and the pigs best friends forever. Little readers who know both tales will find great joy in pointing out the anomalies while newcomers to the fairy-tale world will love the silly adventures. Turner has created a fun-filled romp greatly aided by Macon's very brightly hued cartoons depicting a wild-haired, big-eyed Goldilocks (who presents White) and pink pigs whose every emotion is seen in exaggerated facial expressions and body language. Pair it with Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith's fractured fairy tales or Turner and Macon's own Jack and the Three Bears (publishing simultaneously); either way the fun increases. Lots of giggles in this delightfully goofy tale. (Picture book. 3-7) - Kirkus Reviews
