When the Three Bears leave their house for a walk, a young girl named Goldilocks appears and is drawn in to the house by the smell of hot porridge. But what happens when the bears return and find their porridge is gone? This fun rhyming play by the 'national children's dramatist' David Wood is wonderfully illustrated by Tom Percival.
