You guessed it, "The Three Snow Bears" is the classic story of Goldilocks "re-imagined", as they say, to the Artic realm of polar bears. This time, Goldilocks is a young eskimo girl named Aloo-ki.

One day Aloo-ki is out with her sled dogs when the lines break and she loses them. She searches and searches until she finds an igloo. She goes inside to see if her dogs have taken shelter in the igloo, but she finds... well, its not porridge, but you get the idea. Wonderful paintings in the Inuit style illustrate this new version of the classic children's fairy tale.
