About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child knows and loves classic fairy tales and is ready for a fun, silly remix. It's perfect for the child who is starting to ask 'what if' and blend different stories during imaginative play. In the story, a girl named Lucy is reading to her dog, Mr. Barker, who suddenly leaps through the window and straight into the world of Goldilocks. Lucy follows, and together they collect a cast of familiar characters from The Three Little Pigs, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Sleeping Beauty. The book celebrates curiosity, creativity, and the joy of unexpected friendships. Its gentle, cumulative adventure and interactive peek-through pages make it an engaging read-aloud for preschoolers and early elementary children.
