"B is for bears...Mama Bear, Papa Bear, and Baby Bear, who were in bed"; "G is for a girl named Goldilocks." Every letter of the alphabet is represented in this faithful retelling of the classic tale. Doe-eyed, harmless-looking bears and a wild-haired blonde Goldilocks are featured in lushly colored, slightly out-of-focus illustrations. The alphabet concept does little to enhance the storytelling.
