Gracie Pearl is sent to town in a desperate search. There she finds that evil Bigglebottom, the banker, has seized the Golden Goose, tricked Rumpelstiltskin into a violent departure, sicced his trio of bears onto Goldilocks and for good measure tied three pigs to the railroad tracks for nonpayment of housing loans. None of these figures play any significant role, however; they just act as filler until, when the banker returns to claim his due, Gracie Pearl fights back so hard that the ground cracks and up comes a "black gold" gusher.

Mrs. Stokes' liked this book the most. It was so much fun to act out the "silent movie" parts of the story.
Our class loved to act out the parts! They even use those actions sometimes when I read a book. Definitely an engaging and fun book!
