Daisylocks

Deep in the woods, in a pretty little cottage, lived Three Bears—Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear. On the other side of the forest lived a girl named Daisylocks. One morning, the Three Bears left for a stroll through the forest...and Daisylocks did, too! But as Daisylocks walks through the forest, she arrives at the Three Bears' home and decides to go inside! Don't miss this hilarious retelling of the classic story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears—with a Disney twist!

Daisylocks needs a home that is just right. She asks Wind to help her find the perfect habitat to spread her roots, and he accepts the challenge.

They try the humid rainforest and then the warm beach; those are not just right either. Will Wind find the perfect climate and soil for Daisylocks to place her roots and grow into a beautiful flower?
