Rubia and the Three Osos

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Melissa Sweet. This "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" retelling includes a revamped happy ending in which Rubia brings food to the bears and helps repair Bebé Bear's chair. The jolly text, which includes a smattering of Spanish words, occasionally strains for meaning or rhyme. Sweet's watercolor and mixed-media illustrations showing the Bears' comfy home are amusing. Glos.
