Subversion!
Beware of the Bears! by Alan MacDonald and Gwyneth Williamson, (Little Tiger Press, 4.99,) reveals that the bears are on an almost Mafia-style quest for vengeance after Goldilocks' violation of their personal space - 'Go after her! Find out where she lives!' Daddy Bear orders Baby Bear, and he means it. The 'family' race to Goldilocks' cottage and when they discover there's no porridge, they trash the place.
The important thing that the bears discover during their rampage, however, apart from the fact that they can do the bossa nova while jumping on the sofa (no mean feat, even for bears), is that they are in the wrong place at the wrong time. When Goldilocks enters the cottage to have yet another 'nose around' at someone else's property they realise their error - 'Whose house is it?' Daddy Bear asks. Cue the Big Bad Wolf.
