Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Retold by: Jim Aylesworth
Illustrated by: Barbara McClintock
Scholastic Press: 2003
I decided to do another common children's story this week and this one turned out to be a great Danielle must read! In this tale, Goldilocks asked her mom if she could pick flowers. Her mom let her go, but said do not go into the forest where the bears are. As Goldilocks walked to pick the flowers, she ran into a beautiful butterfly. She then followed the beautiful butterfly into the woods! She then found a beautiful house in the woods and went inside. What was inside the house? Did the bears ever arrive to disturb her visit? Please read this version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears!
I would give this story an 8 out of 10. This version is close to the original story and the pictures are very appealing. The story is predictable and has a great lesson to teach. The Illustrations by Barbara McClintock have a Cartoon look to them, which adds some humor to the story. While the story is very long, it is a tale that can make a child laugh. Please find this version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears near you!
I am not sure if I saw this version before but the traditional story of the three little bears are just great!
ReplyDeleteim glad that the story has humor in it and high quality illustrations so that something keeps the childs attention while they are reading a longer story.
ReplyDeleteI like how the book cover seems to have an older feel to it. It adds to the traditional tale.
