Beschrijving uitgever
When an alien crashes into the story of “The Three Little Bears,” it’s a laugh-out-loud adventure and a classic storybook mash-up!
After an unfortunate bookcase collapse, Alien suddenly finds himself jolted out of his story and into a very strange world, complete with talking bears. Desperate to return to his book, Alien asks the Bear family for help so he can get back to his story and save his beloved Planet Zero from total destruction before it’s too late.
Mama Bear and Papa Bear try all kinds of zany contraptions (with some help from their nemesis, Goldilocks) without much luck. Baby Bear might have the perfect solution to get the Alien out of the woods and back to his planet...but will anyone listen to the littlest voice in the story?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Familiar storybook characters go off-topic in an off-kilter literary mashup that originates with two books tumbling off a child's shelf in the night. Amid billowing pink exhaust, a spacecraft barrels out of one volume and crashes on a page with the "three bears" of Goldilocks fame. "I am Prince Zilch from Planet Zero!" a green alien announces to the startled bears. Zilch needs to return to his own book in time to "save Planet Zero from giant planet-eating numbers," yet the curious bears only muddle around in his ship. "Pardon me, small Earthling," Zilch implores readers. "It is crucial I return by page 27!" Baby Bear breaks the fourth wall, too, urging readers to shake the book so Zilch may "crash out" of the story. Lazar (The Monstore) tells the story through dialogue, and Davies (Goodnight Already) color-codes the voice balloons by character. With its wandering cast of characters, overlapping stories, and inside jokes aimed at those well-versed in nursery rhymes and fairy tales, this "bear book" reveals itself as a book about books. Ages 4 7.
