PORRIDGE PLEASE

PORRIDGE PLEASE! by Laura Mucha Illustrated by Marc Boutavant (Walker Books 48pp) All Bear wants to do is ­snuggle up in bed and read the last page of his book – but someone is knocking on the door. Who could it be? It’s Goldilocks, who’s run out of porridge, so Bear shares his big pot before racing back upstairs to finish his book. But there’s another knock –and a series of favourite fairy-tale characters troop in, eager to share breakfast. But hang on, how come an unusually hairy Grandma is here when Little Red Riding Hood said she has been eaten by the Big Bad Wolf? Young ones will love their favourite characters and delight in the way Bear saves the day in this funny story with bright, bold illustrations.
