About the author

I was born and grew up in Winnipeg —a daydreamer with her nose in a book. In my twenties, I traveled around the world, mostly by ship. Later, I moved to Vancouver, where I earned a B.A. and M.Ed. at the University of British Columbia. Among my jobs were travel agent, college teacher, instructional designer and editor.

For years, I dabbled with writing. But I didn't begin to write in earnest until I had two young daughters. My first book was published in 1992, and I have since written more than thirty others, including novels, picture books and non-fiction.

I live in Vancouver, a short walk from the sea. I write full-time and still love to travel, read and daydream.

[Teddy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Story time at the library is just about to begin but Gordon Loggins is impatient and decides to wonder around until it begins. He finds a secret doorway and goes in. The entrance leads him to a forest. He walks through the forest and comes across a house, the house of The Three Bears.

The bears are frantic because Goldilocks is missing and story time is about to begin. They persuade Gordon to take her place.

This is a charming re-telling of The Three Bears. It is very inventive, entertaining, and the colourful pictures add to it. Another book I highly recommend for children and adults of all ages. Well, maybe your teenager may not think it's cool. LOL!

A great take on the classic goldilocks story.
