In Hello Door by Alistair Heim and Alisa Coburn, Fox burgles the Three Bears' home. He climbs through the window, saying hello to each inanimate object as he rifles through their house, eats their food, messes up their bed and steals their things. I'm not advocating thievery here, but if I did, it's because of this very cute and silly B&B. Finally, Fox gets tossed out the window, to an even bigger house, to commit yet another crime. Fox didn't learn his lesson I guess.
For preschoolers through second graders who enjoy a fractured fairy tale and a some great illustrations. Be sure to look at each framed picture at the end pages of the book.
