About This Book
Set in the ocean off the coast of Japan, this imaginative retelling of Goldilocks and the Three Bears stars Kiniro, a curious mermaid who discovers a baby octopus's home. With Jan Brett's signature detailed borders showcasing underwater life, Kiniro tries the octopus family's breakfast, chair, and bed - finding each one just right.
Why We Love This
Jan Brett's intricate ocean-themed illustrations are breathtaking, and kids who already know Goldilocks get such a kick out of this clever underwater twist on the classic tale.
