Goldilocks revisited! The tables are delightfully turned in this hugely entertaining story of how, on a visit to the city, one Bear finds the hustle and bustle of the streets too much. Seeing a beautiful, cool and quiet apartment, the Bear pops inside. It's an old favourite of a story given a fresh new look in awarding-winning artist and animator Leigh Hodgkinson’s stylish illustrations.
Many years have passed since Goldilocks caused chaos at the Bears' house in the woods, but what happens when Little Bear as was wanders out of his fairytale and into the big city where Goldilocks now lives? Awarding-winning artist and animator Leigh Hodgkinson is the creator of this funny and clever fractured fairytale based on the familiar story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Goldilocks is now grown up with a family and a rather smart apartment, so how will she react to coming home and finding that a very lost bear has been scoffing porridge, breaking chairs and sleeping in beds? Will she be cross, or is finally time to make amends?
