A ghostly twist on Goldilocks

Ghouldilocks enters a haunted mansion and tests three bowls of ghoulosh, three chairs, and three beds, echoing the familiar pattern of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Here, the household is made up of three ghosts, and the encounter ends in friendship rather than a chase. Speech balloons add Halloween jokes and puns, while the colorful illustrations include sly details. The book pairs a recognizable fairy-tale structure with seasonal spooky imagery and comic play, making its Halloween setting central to both the retelling and its humor.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in Halloween stories and ghosts.
  • Young readers who enjoy fairy-tale retellings and silly jokes.

Book overview

A classic fairy tale is turned on its head when a creepy ghoul and three not-so-scary ghosts replace familiar characters in this funny holiday story.

Ghouldilocks and the Three Ghosts is the Halloween version of a well-known fairy tale. This Ghouldilocks has the same golden curls as the original, but styled with bones and tangles to suit this scary holiday.

Ghouldilocks approaches a haunted mansion and steps inside. There she samples three bowls of ghoulosh, sits on a big chair, a medium chair, and a small chair. Next she tries out three beds--and falls asleep in the smallest one. The ghosts come home and instead of chasing Ghouldilocks away, they all become friends. The pages are sprinkled with speech balloons filled with silly Halloween jokes and puns. Colorful art includes sly details by a talented cartoonist will make readers laugh-out-loud.

This clever retelling of the classic Goldilocks and the Three Bears is perfect for Halloween.
