Perfect Story Book for Toddlers

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2021

This is a perfect story book for a 2 year old who can understand and learning to talk. My grandson loves listening to the story and can remember portions of the story. Great way to teach a child to listen to story and assess his comprehension of what is read. We read this story several times a day and talk about it throughout the day. A perfect gift for any toddler.

Not as described

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2022

The book arrived on time. However, the book has more damage then stated as it is shown in the pictures. Yes, I ordered it used, however, they should have stated damage done to the spine.
That's the only negative. I gave 3stars because I feel that they should have done a better job of describing the level of damage.
If I recall they said good condition I would say this is more of acceptable condition.

This story is an excellent choice for reading to smaller children

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2016

In this 1989 Caldecott Honor Medal Winner we see a re-telling of the famous children’s story of a girl named Goldilocks and her interference with the three bears’ home. We first see that Goldilocks gets sent on an errand, by her mother, who specifically tells her she cannot take the shortcut. Goldilocks is an impetuous child who likes to do what she wants, instead of what she is told. On her shortcut, she sees a house and wanders inside, without even knocking the door. She sees porridge on the table and begins saying first from the big bowl, which was too hot. Second from the medium bowl, which was too cold. Third from the small bowl, which was just right and she ate it all. The same happens with the chairs, finding just right the little rocking chair, which she rocke in it until it broke. After all this she gets tired, so without permission, she heads the the rooms where she finds three beds. She also tries each, starting with the biggest one, only to find the small one just right, where she falls asleep and does not hear the bears come home. The three bears look around their eaten plates, sat-on chairs, and used beds until the little bear spots Goldilocks still in his. As Papa Bear spoke, Goldilocks woke up startled. She got out of bed, jumped out the window, and ran far away. The three bears wondered who was the obnoxious girl who entered there home, and wished she would never be seen by then again. And they never did see her again.
This story is an excellent choice for reading to smaller children. This book even serves as a book of manners, since once you do the opposite of what Goldilocks did, you are using your manners. There is absolutely no violence in this book, unless you count the sacrilege Goldilocks does with little bear’s rocking chair; so it is recommended for all ages. It contains various lessons, and that I am pretty sure the child will acknowledge, even without ux pointing them out. I would read this to pre-schoolers up to first grade.
I remember reading this book, when I was a kid, and thinking how strange it was that the human girl acted like an animal, and the wild animals like humans. I was a bit rusty on the storyline, but that fact stayed with me throughout the many years that it has been since I last read the story. In my opinion, Goldilocks is like an anti-role model. She does what she is not told, she goes inside people’s houses without permission, she does not ask for things, and she even had the audacity to break something that is not hers. If she were my roommate in college, we would not have gotten along in the least.

These are great examples to use for comprehension skills

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2014

There are so many versions of this story, I am using several (including this one) to discuss the things that are alike and different about them. These are great examples to use for comprehension skills.

Fun read!

We are fans of James Marshalls' snarky style, so are pleased to own this book now. I'd suggest borrowing it from the library first if you're new to James Marshall.
