Dean MacAdam: Goldilocks Gets

Neither too hard nor too easy, this Dean MacAdam puzzle is "just right" with a peek into the Three Bears' home and how "Goldilocks Gets Caught!"

Someone's been eating Papa Bear's porridge, and someone's been sitting in Mama Bear's chair, and someone's been sleeping in Baby Bear's bed, and she's still there! The Three Bears just left for a quick walk while this impertinent young girl waltzed in and helped herself to whatever she liked. Maybe having a huge fright and jumping out the window will teach her not to trespass! Leave it to Dean MacAdam to set the scene for many hours of perfectly-relaxing puzzle fun!

Did you know in the original story the three bears were not a family but just friends? Eleanor Mure wrote the first recorded version of The Three Bears nursery tale in 1831; a handmade, illustrated book for her nephew. In her story, the troublemaker isn't a young girl, but a meddling old woman. Later versions introduced a young girl named "Silver-Hair" who, by 1904, became Goldilocks. This 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle combines captivating imagery with clean-cut pieces and Ravensburger's perfect interlocking fit for a most pleasurable puzzling experience!
