Synopsis: (from the publisher) "What a sweet child," says a newcomer in town about Goldilocks. "That's what you think," a neighbor replies, for Goldilocks is one of those naughty little girls who does exactly as she pleases--even if that means sampling the three bears' porridge, breaking Baby Bear's chair, and sleeping in his bed.

Craft ideas:

• The Bears have a lot of books. What books do you think they read? Design the book covers and titles.
• Make character hats and re-enact the story.
