Goldilocks on CCTV

"There she was on the news, Miss Goody Two-Shoes, Caught on CCTV." Poor Goldilocks, caught on camera breaking into a house of suburban grizzlies. Inspired by traditional fairy tales but with contemporary, streetwise characters, this book shows children characters like Pumpkin Biker Cinderella, two ugly sisters with attitude, Puss-in-Trainers, a feline with a feel for the cool, the Giant with a mobile phone . . . not to mention the Bad Hair Day Fairy. Here are 30 amazing poems rooted in the world of fairy tale and legend. Wickedly witty, deliciously subversive, and utterly modern, the poems are also affectionate and big-hearted tributes to the original tales and characters that inspired them. This is a sizzling new collection from a master poet, brought explosively to life by Satoshi Kitamura's extraordinary black-and-white illustrations.
