Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Printed as “Mateo and the Three Bears”, with your child’s name in place of Mateo.
Your child follows a butterfly through the woods to a cottage with a round green door, and knocks first. Inside, one bowl is too hot, one is too cold, and one is just right. When the bears come home, your child doesn’t jump out of the window. Your child says sorry, then mends Baby Bear’s broken chair with the porridge that was too cold to eat.
In this one
- Too hot, too cold, just right

Questions about this one
Is my child called Goldilocks in the book?
No. The book is called by your child’s name, like “Mia and the Three Bears”, and that name is used all the way through. The words never mention hair colour, so it fits every child.
Doesn’t Goldilocks just break in?
Not in ours. Your child gets lost, knocks first, and waits. When the bears come home, your child says sorry and mends Baby Bear’s chair, using the porridge that was too cold to eat. Baby Bear makes a new friend.
Are the bears scary?
Papa Bear has a big growly voice, and that’s as scary as it gets. The bears are more surprised than cross, and it ends with porridge for four.
Can siblings be in the same book?
Not yet. Each book has one child in it for now. Plenty of families order one book per child, and you get 25% off each additional book in the same order.
Can I change the dedication later?
Yes, right up until you approve the finished book. After that it goes to the printer.
