In a redwood cabin in the middle of the woods live three bears: a baby bear, a momma bear, and a big daddy bear. One day before breakfast, they decide to go on a hike, never expecting the surprise that awaits their return. Curly Locks gets up early that morning, too, and goes for a run. After taking a shortcut, she ends up lost but finds her way to the three bears’ cabin. She hopes to ask for directions but finds the cabin empty so goes investigating. She tries out the bears’ chairs and beds and eventually ends up in the kitchen. When the three bears return home, they’re shocked to find a girl with curly hair cooking them breakfast! These strangers sit together and chat, getting to know one another. Despite their differences, they’re alike in many ways, too. Relationships can be built in unlikely ways, as Curly Locks and the three bears become friends for life.
