Goldilocks and the Three Koalas

Everyone called her ‘Goldilocks’, although her name was Shirley, because she had a mass of hair, fluffy, blonde and curly. Shirley goes out for a walk one day and comes across a little house in the bush. After letting herself in, thoroughly looking through (and messing up) the house, as well as helping herself to food, she eventually finds herself a comfortable place to rest . . . until the koalas come home to find a stranger in their house, that is! Kel Richard’s hilarious rhyming text is beautifully accompanied by Claire Richard’s delightful watercolour art that is full of funny details for children to look for.
