"The three bears by A. E. Kennedy" is a children’s picture book from the early 20th century. The story retells a classic nursery tale about a lost girl who enters a family of bears’ cottage, samples their porridge, tries their chairs and beds, and learns a gentle lesson about trespassing and caution. The tale follows a cheerful bear family—Papa, Mamma, and little Johnny—who leave their freshly cooked porridge to cool while they go for a walk and doze in the woods. A lost girl named Goldenlocks discovers their house, tastes the three bowls of porridge (finishing the smallest), tries the chairs (breaking the little one), and finally falls asleep in the smallest bed. The bears return, notice the meddling, and find Goldenlocks asleep. She awakens in fright, flees through an open window, and runs home, promising not to wander off again.
