A little girl goes into a house without the owners' permission, steals porriage and breaks some things before running away when confronted. I jest of course, or maybe I don't.

Nicely illustrated book for children

This Little Golden Book is an okay adaptation of the traditional story of Goldilocks and the three bears. It retells the story simply and does not stray much from the traditional tale. The soft pastel illustrations work well with the text, but after reading it alone and then to my son it just seemed boring. There was no real climax to the story and the interest level is low. I enjoy the story of Goldilocks and believe there are better versions to introduce the tale to young childen.

Genre: Traditional literature
Grade Level: PreK-3
Unique detail: This is a classic story that isn't changed much from the original, but the bright vibrant colors in this edition make looking at the pictures a lot of fun for young pre-emergant and emerging readers.

A classic story about what happens when the three little bears come back home. We read this in my field placement and the students loved it!

Honestly not the greatest retelling of the tale and the pictures weren’t overly interesting. The kids lost interest around the same time I did - within the first three pages.

My 2 year old and I read this in the Little Golden Book Collection: Sleepytime Tales. It's a pretty straightforward telling of the story, but something about the illustrations has really gotten her attention and she has been asking me and my 6 year old to read it repeatedly and also "reading" it to herself over and over when we're not available.

My childhood book first book ever read to me

This book was read to me a lot as a child and is one of my all time favourites; the quest to finding Goldie Locks in the house is always exciting. This is a good book to use with lower ks1 as it teaches children about respecting others property and privacy. The book also has a lot of playful words and repetition in it, which is good for young learners to develop their vocabulary. The animation can also help young readers remember and retell the story through images.

The three bears have a whole lot of playful words and repetition in it, that is good for beginning readers to learn words. The story teaches a good lesson that you should not run around in the woods by yourself. It also teaches the lesson of not invading other people property and to appreciate and respect others.

This is a retelling of Goldilocks and the three bears. This book would reach out to the children and they would see that it is the same as the story they have been told before. The little girl does everything that Goldilocks did when she visited in her book. This would be a good book to use for a read aloud if you are talking about folklore.

October 15, 2017Re-read 10/2017: Mama read this to me the other night. I looked at the cover and pointed to Papa Bear and said "He looks mad. Why he angry?" Then after we read the book, Mama asked me why I thought Papa Bear was mad. I said "Because Goldilocks."
Originally read 1/18/16: Mama read this book to me this morning. I got up and immediately went to my bookshelf and picked some books to read.

This timeless classic is still a great read. The pictures in this book are cute and colorful. This book can help developing readers because many of the phrases repeat themselves. This book would be great for pre-k and kindergarten students. This is a great classic.

This tale is one of my favorites, the anticipation of finding Goldie Locks in the house is always exciting. The lesson behind it can teach children about respect of others and their privacy and belongings.
