Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Other Stories

Short but briskly savage versions of several classic tales… offers younger children an eye-opening cross-section of the far-from-innocuous world of folk literature. * Kirkus Reviews (starred review) * Make room on the shelf. A new classic has arrived. * Publishers Weekly * Beloved classics are successfully served by these bold, striking renditions. There’s no sugarcoating here. * School Library Journal (starred review) * A jaunty humor shows itself in the blobby brushwork….Even the words get a chance to express themselves as paint: most spreads include something — a title, a quotation from the story, a bit of commentary — written across page in thick black brushstrokes like a child chiming in while a parent reads. It’s a good take on these traditional tales for very young book lovers. This is a book that will make you want to paint * New York Times *
