When a family of three bears go on a walk while their porridge cools, a lost girl finds shelter in their empty home. She explores the house, testing the different bowls of porridge, the different chairs, and finally the beds. Each time she finds that Little Bears belongings are just right! What will happen when the bears return to find that an unexpected visitor has been in their house?

Traditional Fairy Tale modernised by Child’s Play.

Illustrator biography:
"I have illustrated since leaving college. To begin with I mainly worked for advertising, magazine publishing and packaging, in many subject areas and this gave me great grounding and experience. In recent years Ive concentrated my efforts on my first love, childrens publishing.

I work for publishers all over the world, large and small. I mostly illustrate in my richly coloured gouache style, but I also offer styles in watercolour and pen and ink. I love drawing children and animals, and I especially enjoy stories with some gentle humour and quirkiness."

• Fairy tales often tackle difficult issues in an accessible way, thereby preparing children for life in the real world, for example, Goldilocks enters someones house without permission.
• The book can be used to discuss ethics; why is it wrong to enter someone’s house uninvited? Is it rude to use someone else’s belongings or eat their food without asking them first? 
• Written with young readers in mind, this book features appropriate vocabulary and an economic, fast-moving style. 
• The repeated phrase “[It] was just right. Lovely!” can increase the confidence of a new reader, as they learn to anticipate the refrain and can read it with increasing ease.
• Colourful, humorous illustrations on every page will support and captivate beginning readers.
• Familiar plots and story structure gives confidence to early readers.
• Research shows that fairy tales are crucial to childrens development. They nurture moral behaviour and show young people the strengths and weaknesses inherent in human nature.
