“Goldilocks and the Three Bears” in Yummy by Lucy Cousins (Candlewick, 2009). Lucy Cousins also has a distinct illustration style. Although the story was standard and nothing stood out to me or to my son, the bright illustrations may be a favorite. It comes in a collection with seven other fairy tales retold and illustrated by Ms. Cousins, but my son was not interested in those. (He is not a fan of the stories involving the Big Bad Wolf, and while he likes the Maisy stories they are not a “go to” series as Byron Barton’s vehicle books are.)
