Ink and watercolor paintings show a bold Goldilocks doing exactly what she pleases when she tries out the porridge, chairs and beds of a bicycle-riding bear family. "I don't mind if I do" and "Patooie!" are two of her favorite phrases. This madcap main character is pictured in an early 20th century setting. Marshall's fun-filled narrative matches the exuberance of his art. (Ages 3-7)

"With the same delightfully irreverent spirit that he brought to his retellings of Little Red Riding Hood, Marshall enlivens another favorite. . . . The illustrations are fraught with delicious humor and detail. Like its predecessor, perfect for several uses, from picture book hour to beginning reading."--Kirkus Reviews. Caldecott Honor Medal.
