Customer Reviews

This story is 'just right'.

This story and the pictures breath a new life into this story. I thought Goldilocks was cute! This story is 'just right'!

Cute

Cute book, slightly different than the traditional story but pretty close. My [...] constantly remarks on the fact that the "baby bear" in the story she is used to is called "Little Wee Bear" in this book but she still loves it.

Winner!

I gave this book to my grandaughter at her [...]birthday party and it stopped the show. She and her cousins, [..] had been opening toys and clothes one after the other, hardly glancing at any of them. When she opened this book and they started looking at the beautiful pages, they had to go through the entire book and look at each one! Here's a photo of the opening: [...]

Another Mark Buehner classic

The beauty of this rendition of Goldilocks & the 3 Bears is Mark Buehner's illustrations. Always gorgeous, with an I Spy type of hidden animals in each painting, Mark Buehner allows my children to explore the pictures and the text at the same time. While the book is excellent, Mark and Caralyn Buehner have set a high mark. Not as innovative as Superdog and Snowman at Night, but fascinating all the same. I can't wait for the next Mark Buehner book to explore. The text by Caralyn Buehner is serviceable, but lacks the complexities of Fanny's Dream or the rhyming sequences of the Snowmen books.

Same story, but retold so much better!

Everyone knows the story of little Goldilocks and the Three bears and this is basically the same story but with a lot more added to it! It shows where the bear family have gone while waiting for the hot morning breakfast to cool. Our curious and make yourself at home Goldilocks is skipping rope and looking for a friend to skip with. Up to the door she hops, knocks and no one answers. She's not giving up without 1 more knock and the door opens... and in she hops and so begins our story. What I like about this book is that the basic story we all grew up with an knew is still there but the author added more elements to this story. For example... when it comes to the beds... Papa's isn't hard... it's rock hard, and mama bear's bed is silky soft and Goldilocks slides off the bed and of course Wee bear bed is the best of all. And without ruining any more of the book I'll end my review here. This is just an enjoyable book with great illustrations!
