begins posting photos of others in embarrassing situations. When that grows stale, she posts selfies while breaking into a house, eating the porridge, etc. The Bears call the police, and Goldilocks has to do community service cleaning up the Bears' house. She realizes that she now has a record and that the online posts will never completely go away: forever she will be remembered as the girl who broke into the Bears' house. The book is a fun way to talk about online safety and etiquette with young children. Excellent lessons to begin teaching early.
