Illustrated by
Michael Garland.
Feeling constrained by a mom who checks homework and packs healthy lunches, Goldilocks builds a spaceship and travels to Mars. The rhymed text follows her as she visits the home of a Martian family and, of course, tries their food, chairs, and beds. Illustrated with what look like airbrushed images, the slight story may appeal to those who like fractured fairy tales.
