Selected by Indie Booksellers for the Winter 2011 Kids' Next ListThe Hare family—Papa, Mama, and Little Baby Hare—are enjoying a peaceful day in their rabbit hole until they hear a big THUMP outside their door. The thump is Goldilocks herself, who has fallen down the rabbit hole after being chased by the Three Bears.
(I think you know why those bears were chasing her.)
The Hare family is happy to help the girl, who has hurt her foot. But as you might imagine, Goldie is not a very good houseguest. She is tough to please, since every chair is too hard, too soft, or otherwise not just right.
(If you were the Hares, you might agree that Goldilocks is loud, obnoxious, and demanding.)
But when Goldie is finally comfy-cozy in the Hares’ rabbit hole, how are they ever going to get her to leave?
Margie Palatini and Jack E. Davis bring a hilarious, just-right twist to the nursery classic.
Margie Palatini is the author of many outrageously funny books for children, including Piggie Pie!, illustrated by Howard Fine; Moosetache, Mooseltoe, and the Bad Boys series, all illustrated by Henry Cole; The Cheese, illustrated by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher; No Biting, Louise, illustrated by Matthew Reinhart; and Gorgonzola, illustrated by Tim Bowers. She lives with her family in New Jersey.
