'Okay, okay. So slap my teensy little paws. I messed up - big time.'
Tuffy can't wait for Ellie and the family to go away on holiday. He and the gang plan to ignore the grumpy new cat-sitter, and run wild all night. But could that furry bundle, suddenly flying through the air, put a stop to all the fun?
This clever book teaches children how to read the different meanings conveyed by words and pictures, and how to make sense of a story for themselves.

—— Mary Arrigan , Irish ExaminerThis is a wonderful re-telling by Anthony Browne of the Goldilocks fairy tale, which Browne gives a modern setting and a contemporary twist . . . The story is beautifully presented with the Bear family's world drawn in bright colours while 'Goldilocks' inhabits a bleak inner city landscape. The ending turns our usual convictions on their head, however, as we are shown it is the grey city world that has the warmth of a real home
—— Reading ZoneThe merging of the fairytale/streetscape ending is a masterstroke
