A tiny twist on the fairy tale - Goldilocks is more curious than most girls, and is warned by her dad not to rush into places where she doesn't belong. But as she goes far into the forest to play, she comes across a cute little cabin and knocks on the door to see if anyone wants to play with her. She finds the floor covered with bone and cones and leaves and stems, the porridge full of bark and bugs and grass, and the beds made of piles of pine needles and feathers and whatnot. The story is the same, with some added details. The ilustrations are cute - Goldilocks head full of bright yellow curls is adorable and the bears have character. The cover isn't anything that jumps out at you, the illustrations inside the cover are much nicer.
All in all, it's a nice retelling.
