Voski and the Archoogians: The Armenian Version of Goldilocks and The Three Bears

By Talene Dadian White

The classic fairy tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears is retold with an Armenian twist!Voski and the Archoogians takes place deep in an Armenian forest at the home of the "Archoogian" bear family. Mama Bear prepares an excellent Armenian feast, which draws Voski directly to their home for a taste, while the bears are away. After gorging herself on mezze (appetizers), jash (dinner) and anousheghen (dessert), Voski is discovered by the bears and flees. However, in true Armenian fashion, the bears forgive Voski and invite her to stay and share their meal. Exciting full-color illustrations bring the story to life, depicting beautiful Armenian landscapes and characters that look stereotypically Armenian.Voski and the Archoogians is written in "Arm- English" (English with some Armenian words) and includes a glossary and pronunciation guide to help readers learn the meanings of the Armenian words and to pronounce them correctly. A delight for Armenian children!
