When Goldilocks invites herself to Baby Bear's birthday party and behaves atrociously, Grandma knows just what to do.

This humorous tale merges the characters of the traditional Goldilocks story with two jovial additions: Mr. Wolf and his cheerful Grandma. In celebration of Baby Bear’s birthday, the wolf pair cooks up a splendid feast for all the party guests to enjoy. But, when the mischievous, ill-mannered Goldilocks barges in on the festivities, the atmosphere turns to bleak. Just when it looks as though the party has been all but ruined, Grandma Wolf cunningly saves the day…and shocks readers with a hilariously ironic twist! Animated scenes span each page, as portrayed through painted illustrations with bright colors and subtle texturing. The text features both descriptive and dialogic sentences, ranging in length and composition. Owing to the moderate amount of text, embedded tones of sarcasm and wit, and subtle cues for emphasis and vocal inflection, this picture book is best introduced as a read-aloud for toddlers and young children—though adults will likely enjoy the tale as well!
