Dusty Locks and the Three Bears

Dusty Locks and the Three Bears by Lowell, Susan. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780805058628.

A wild and funny Southwestern Goldilocks. Way out West live three bears who like to keep their cabin neat and tidy. But one day while theyre out for a walk, a dirty little girl named Dusty Locks barges in and helps herself to their supper of beans. The big bears beans are so full of chile peppers that she burns her mouth. The middle bears beans dont even have any salt. But the bear cubs beans are just right, so Dusty Locks gobbles them all up. When the bears come home to find their nice, neat house looking like its been hit by a whirlwind, they get riled -- and Dusty Locks runs home so fast the dust doesnt settle for a week. The talented team that created Little Red Cowboy Hat works its hilarious magic again in this lively western retelling of Goldilocks.
