Que divertido

I am using this in my Spanish class and it is so accessible for the kids as they learn about sizes and other vocabulary in Spanish. Super book! Illustrations are fantastic and the book size is slightly larger than the usual so it makes sharing for a class a breeze!

Ricitos de oro y los tres osos

A brief comment here. I like this version because it is from the bears viewpoint and instead of having Goldilocks in every page we have here the bear family and their environment. It is the 'same old story' from a different angle and i was attracted to that. Thank you.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

My 2 year old Grandaughter loved the story and illustrations. I loved the new modern take with the baseball cap, glasses, sandels and hoop earrings for the bears' attire. A delightful and fun story from the past for today.

Great for Preschoolers

As a children's librarian, I am often looking for fairy tales written simply for my preschool storytimes. This book meets my needs with large, colorful pictures and simple text. The traditional story is presented although the bears are far from frightening for little children. The bears are the sympathetic characters, especially with their amusement at Goldilock's invasion of their home and their familiar clothing. Gorbachev's illustrations have many fun details, including views of the bears on their family outing through various windows of the house. The book will entertain children-and hopefully adults-- through several rereadings.
