Curly Locks loves to cook, but no one likes to eat her creepy crawly creations. However, when the Scares from Toadsuck Swamp invade the mayor’s home, Curly Lock’s cooking might be the one thing that can get the Scares to behave. 


Um, such a fun fracturing of the Goldilocks and Three Bears fairytale. It is bursting with authentic flavor (excuse the pun) and hidden gems. It would be an excellent addition to any classroom library, and so much fun to use as a mentor text. The artistic style is also really engaging and worth studying all on its own.
