Santa and the Three Bears

by Dominic Catalano

It's the night before Christmas and Mrs. Claus is preparing a surprise party for Santa. She and her helpers have baked the cookies and cakes. They have strung the garland and lights. Now all they need is a Christmas tree. While Mrs. Claus and her helpers are searching the woods, a family of bears comes across the Claus's house. The house looks so warm and cozy and smells so good that they make themselves right at home. But what will happen when Mrs. Claus returns? Dominic Catalano's  variation on the Goldilocks story is filled with warmth and holiday good cheer.

Youngest's school library book

A cute, albeit unoriginal, nod at The Three Little Bears. Youngest sat still through the whole thing.
