![]() ![]() She’d never be recognized with her new sweet scent. When she awakens to the three bears staring down at her, she hightails it home and submits to a good washing. ![]() She scarfs the cub’s beans (the others are so spicy or too bland), busts the cub’s stool (by mistake), and takes to the cub’s bed when Papa Bear’s pile of prickly branches and Mama’s featherbed don’t suit her. Dusty raids the bears’ digs after they go for a walk while their beans are cooling. Hewing to the original fairly closely, Lowell adds a few licks of her own: there’s Dusty Locks, a rapscallion who hasn’t taken a bath for a month of Sundays, and the bears are a family of grizzlies. Lowell and Cecil ( Little Red Cowboy Hat, 1997) return to cowboy twists on nursery tales when they take Goldilocks and plunk her down in Montana in this spry retelling of a classic. ![]()
