Goldilocks and the Three Crocodiles 

Michael Rosen

Goldilocks and the Three Crocodiles (Paperback)

 

Waterstones Says  
Poet and national treasure Michael Rosen teams up with Hugless Douglas illustrator David Melling to deliver a deliciously silly spin on Goldilocks and the Three Bears, which finds our inquisitive heroine chancing upon a quite different type of house.

A fabulously funny take on a classic story from two giants of children's books!

Goldilocks and her little dog are off on an adventure, looking for that house again - the one with the chairs, the porridge and beds. The sound of the sea calls to them and before they know it, they have found quite a different sort of a house... there are bowls, and chairs and sort-of beds... plus some rather unexpected and hilarious inhabitants!

From Michael Rosen, the highly regarded author of We're Going on a Bear Hunt, comes this wonderful new take on the famous nursery rhyme, brilliantly brought to life by David Melling, the creator of Hugless Douglas.
