Hardcover. New York , Farrar Straus Giroux , 1st US, 2010, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover. 32 pages illustrated in color by Browne. Bright, unclipped dust jacket. Browne's wry fractured fairy tale sets the Goldilocks story in a contemporary urban neighborhood and tells it from the dual viewpoints of a lost little girl and a baby bear. The girl's story, shown on left-hand pages, is wordless; sepia-toned pictures show a bespectacled, blond kid who gets lost in the city streets, enters a house with an open door, eats porridge, breaks a chair, and snuggles up to nap. On each facing page, Baby Bear tells his parallel story, illustrated in full color, of walking in the park with Daddy and Mommy and then coming home to find his breakfast gone, his chair broken, and someone asleep in his bed.
