Description: When the Goldilocks family leaves their campsite to go on a hike, Bear comes along and makes a mess of their food and belongings--because that is how bears roll.

Review Quotes: Horne turns the story on its head and Yaccarino is a willing co-conspirator. . . . This book is straight up O.G. and brand new; children will scream, "Just right!" at story hours and envy Bear and his louche life among human objects.
--School Library Journal (starred review)

Deadpan prose from debut author Horne is a deliciously mischievous match for flat colors and crisp graphic shapes from Yaccarino.
--Publishers Weekly

Part fractured fairy tale, part camping cautionary tale, this entertaining offering will delight young and old readers alike.
--Booklist

Yaccarino employs his signature crisp, bold artistic style to humorous effect when showing the expressive bear wreaking havoc. . . . A clever fractured fairy tale packed with visual jokes and surprising narrative twists.
--The Horn Book
