Three retellings that first appeared in Cousins’s 2009 compendium Yummy: Eight Favorite Fairy Tales (“Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” “The Three Billy Goats Gruff,” and “The Little Red Hen”) are featured in this new volume. While the text for each story sticks to the script, Cousins’s signature cut paper–inspired illustrations shine in accompaniment. Whimsical details such as Goldilocks’s larger-than-life hair, the billy goats’ boldly patterned shorts, and a polka-dot flour mill liven up the read-aloud experience.
