Description
This verse retelling of the three bears tells of Bruin, his wife Mammy Muff, and their son Tiny-cub, who live in a wood with thick porridge, good chairs, and good beds. Bruin, the biggest bear, is surly and rough, with a great granite bowl and a cast-iron chair.
The tale follows the familiar visit of a little girl who tries porridge, chairs, and beds in turn. Told in rhyming couplets with pictures, it is the nursery classic in its early Victorian picture-book form. Mammy Muff's bowl and chair are made of brick-bats, yet both suit her, while Tiny-cub's set is the best of all.
