Description

A former UK Children's Laureate as well as the winner of two Kate Greenaway Medals and the Hans Christian Andersen Award, Anthony Browne offers a multilayered retelling of the Goldilocks story that yields subtle meanings. A chatty young bear describes his family's idyllic life (rendered in sunny pastel colors) and the day they came home to find his porridge eaten, his chair broken, and his bed occupied by a stranger. His tale alternates with the wordless story of a hooded girl lost in a somber urban landscape who happens upon a beautiful yellow house. Browne's thought-provoking collision of real life and fairytale, for readers up to 8, earned starred reviews from Publishers Weekly, Horn Book Magazine, and School Library Journal, who noted, "Younger children can enjoy this picture book, but, in the hands of the right adult, older children will get a lot out of it. Browne has added depth to a story that we thought we already knew."
