The Hare family is happy to helpthe girl, who has hurt her foot. But asyou might imagine, Goldie is not a verygood houseguest. She is tough to please, since every chair is too hard, too soft, orotherwise not just right. (If you were the Hares, you mightagree that Goldilocks is loud, obnoxious, and demanding.) But when Goldie is finally comfy-cozyin the Hares' rabbit hole, how are theyever going to get her to leave? Margie Palatini and Jack E.
