From Booklist

Ages 2-5. In a Christmas variation of the Goldilocks story, Mama, Papa, and Baby Bear seek shelter from the storm in a cozy house that's all decked out for a party. It's Santa's house, and the place is empty because he is away delivering gifts and his wife has gone to get a tree to decorate. By the time she returns with her three young helpers, the bears have wreaked mayhem with the food and the decorations and are comfortably in bed fast asleep. After a rude awakening, they all help clean up and prepare a surprise party for Santa, who suspects nothing and gives his three new friends some wonderful gifts. Children will enjoy the playful variations on the old story and the language ("a chance to get my bearings"). Catalano's large comic pictures in festive reds and greens show the farce and fun when the big, galumphing bears create chaos and then the warmth when they join in and prepare for a party together.
