The original brazen Goldilocks is here a proper old-fashioned girl who simply forgets not to do what her mother tells her not to do. Routed by the returning bears, Goldilocks runs home to her mother resolved "never, ever [to forget] not to do what her mother [tells] her not to do." While Aylesworth turns the traditional, all-in-fun nursery tale into a coy lesson in doing as mother says, McClintock gives new life to the Goldilocks/Three Bears face-off.
