I really enjoyed this telling of Goldilocks. It was rhythmic and nice to read aloud. My boys (8&9) didn’t love the Goldilocks illustration, and I can’t say I blame them . . . She’s a little creepy in this version!

For: fairy tale/folklore fans; readers looking for a classic retelling that is accessible for young readers.

Possible red flags: characters in peril; terror; thievery.

Cute variation on Goldilocks, where she disappears

A classic fairy tale, this story recounts the interesting life of three bears, all of individual size and mannerisms. When they lay out their breakfast one morning and go for a stroll in the forest, a greedy little girl comes upon their abode and forgets all the manners she has been taught. Eating their food, breaking their chairs, and sleeping in their beds. When the bears return, they notice all the brouhaha and make a stink, only to spook the brat. Funny, they never see her again. Neo laughed throughout the story as I narrated all three bears a little differently. He asked if we might have some porridge in the morning, but that might also have been related to the previous Paul Galdone story we read tonight. See if you can find it on my READ feed.
