Moldilocks and the Three Scares Summary

Moldilocks and the Three Scares: A Zombie Tale by Lynne Marie

A zombie-tastic take on a favorite fairy tale! Forget Goldilocks and the three bears--MOLDILOCKS and the THREE SCARES are here, in a delightful new version of the popular story. Papa Scare (a monster), Mama Scare (a mummy), and Baby Scare (a vampire) live in a haunted house where they eat finger sandwiches and alpha-bat soup. One night, they go out to walk their dog (a bloodhound, of course) to let their soup cool down. While they're away, in walks the zombie Moldilocks, looking for food, a chair, and a bed that's just right. Kids will love this hauntingly funny story with its surprise ending!

Moldilocks and the Three Scares Reviews

The three Scares-Papa resembles Frankenstein's monster, Mama is a mummy/Bride of Frankenstein hybrid, and Baby is a wee vampire-live in a haunted house 'with room enough for four,' writes Marie. Despite having a ghost dog and a bell tower full of bats, they each yearn for a missing someone. Enter green-skinned Moldilocks, who, drawn by a scent that 'smelled like home, something she hadn't enjoyed in a long, long time,' lumbers into the momentarily vacated Scare house and wreaks the same havoc as her fairy tale counterpart (Baby's chair, made of delicate bones, is reduced to dust). Instead of exhibiting fury, the family that discovers her welcomes her with open arms: 'HOW DARE YOU... eat without us!' a joyful Papa cries. 'I've always wanted another mouth to feed.' It's a horror spoof with a big heart: Lorenzo's acrylic and colored pencil cartooning offers a warm glow, and readers will cheer for this undead family that finally feels complete. -Publishers Weekly

The traditional fairy tale gets a Halloween update and an adoption twist. . . . Lorenzo's acrylic-and-colored-pencil illustrations feature rich and vivid colors; lots of bones, skulls, and spiderwebs make up most of the home's ambience. How this unusual family finds exactly what they were missing makes for a satisfying tale. -Kirkus
