Book Review of The Fourth Bear (Nursery Crime, Bk 2)

The Fourth Bear (Nursery Crime, Bk 2)
reviewed on + 3 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 2


A book about Goldilocks, giant cucumbers, and a psychopathic Gingerbreadman? The second book in the nursery crimes series, Jack Spratt and the Nursery Crime Division are at it again, solving crimes by unusual characters in Reading. This time the Gingerbreadman has escaped St Cerebellums and is on the loose while Goldilocks has gone missing. Fforde does a great job of creating a realistically unrealistic world were bears talk and aliens speak in binary.
