A very enjoyable retelling of the "Three Bears "story, this book provides a great opportunity to ham it up with some storytelling "voices" for the three Bears. Fun to pair with a more traditional retelling of the Goldilocks story, this one has a little moment of suspense where you wonder if the Bears will eat Goldilocks, and a bit of redemption as Goldilocks makes good for the mess that she's made.

Beautiful illustrations, there's a bit of a change from the original tale in the end.

Grade: K-3
This is the classic tale but it has a new ending! This was a fun story to act out and be surprised by the ending of the story. There is also a recipe for blueberry muffins in the back that would be a great activity to connect with the book. The illustrations are classic and beautifully done with lots of detail. Overall it was an engaging story based on the classic tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

I chose this charming edition of Goldilocks to introduce forms of government to my 6th graders. To prepare them for their study of the Constitution, I described the British Monarchy as too strong, the Articles of Confederation too weak and the Constitution just right. They really enjoyed story time and the read aloud made the connection stick.

Sanderson's artwork is the main attraction here. Otherwise it is a pretty middling telling of Goldilocks and the Three (very understanding and apparently vegetarian) Bears.
The recipe at the end was a cute addition that I would have loved as a kid.

Though I honestly cannot recall how most versions of Goldilocks end, I can say that I know this wasn't it. Not only does Goldilocks help clean up the beds(because she was told to) and fix Baby Bear's chair(she voluntarily did this), she also partakes in tea and blueberry muffins, having supplied the blueberries herself (though only for fear of the bears eating her). The question is, do we think that she learned anything from her massive breach of manners? It's a toss-up. Let us hope that if she forgets her manners again, it isn't in a wolverine's den.
