Everyone knows the tale of Goldilocks and the three bears, but do you know what the three bears were up to whilst Goldilocks was ransacking their house?
With popular movies such as Shrek and Tangled which twist traditional fairy tales this book is sure to be popular with kids. It takes the tale of Goldilocks and the three bears and modernises the story. The three bears and Goldilocks tales are told simultaneously. Goldilocks lives a life of poverty portrayed on the left in dark wordless panels and the bears living a colourful life of privilege. The illustrations are wonderful especially depicted in the beautiful ending which makes the most of the use of gold of which we have only seen glimmers of till now. This is a rich and layered book which can be read over and over and shakes up the reader’s assumptions about the familiar tale.
