Bear and the Three Goldilocks

PreS-Gr 2–This book is a delightful, creative twist on the classic fairy tale. Roles are reversed as readers follow the story of a gentle bear who stumbles into the home of not one, but three Goldilocks! The clever narrative flips expectations and brings fresh humor and heart to a timeless tale. Bear, looking for shelter and a snack, enters a cozy cottage and encounters the three sisters. The youngest is curious, the middle is practical, and the oldest is protective. Chaos and giggles ensue as the bear navigates porridge temperatures, broken chairs, and nap time. Understanding and friendship bloom in this warm story that teaches empathy and the value of seeing things from another’s perspective. The illustrations are rich with whimsical detail. The Goldilocks sisters have distinct hairstyles, expressions, and outfits in complementary tones of mustard, rose, and sky blue. Bear has emotional eyes and wonderful expressions.
