Horrible Harry has always loved insects, and he's recently discovered a new favorite: earwigs When he tries to share his passion for the creepy critters, though, no one but Song Lee will listen to him. So when Miss Mackle assigns the class to act out a fairy tale, Harry takes the opportunity to rewrite the classic ?Goldilocks and the Three Bears.? And his version gets everyone in room 3B to pay attention to earwigs. But will the class think his play is hilarious . . . or "horrible?"

As an added bonus, the complete text of Harry's play is included in the back of the book, so readers can perform it, too.

Booklist Review

Since his debut in Horrible Harry in Room 2B (1988), Harry has shown an affinity for horrible things, such as snakes and insects. This latest chapter book combines Harry's love of bugs with a group assignment to act out a fairy tale. Harry unearths a dead earwig, names him Edward, and gives him a proper burial. In Edward's honor, Harry's group dramatizes an original fairy tale, Goldilocks and the Three Bugs. Kline helpfully provides their short play script with the story. Not many series reach the 20-year mark, but this one is still going strong.--Phelan, Carolyn Copyright 2008 Booklist
