Brett adds nothing to the familiar story. Honestly, the text in this book is too familiar. Goldilocks and the Three Bears, by Jan Brett It’s a fun book with just the right amount of text. ![]() The silly twist is that she eats the things she finds … including the littlest bear’s bowl and spoon, his chair, and his bed (plus the blanket, two pillows, and a pair of pajamas). Goatilocks is a little kid (get it? ha ha) who lives down the road from a family of bears. This book gets the prize for funniest story and cutest illustrations. Goatilocks and the Three Bears, by Erica S. ![]() When the bears discover her, she lets out a scream (a perfect high C!) and becomes the new lead singer.

Goldi Rocks and the Three Bears, by Corey Rosen Schwartz and Beth Coulton Challenge your students to help you write the text! I like the setting (the American frontier days) and the expressive illustrations. This is a wordless picture book in which a baby bear stumbles upon a log cabin.

The story continues in the traditional way until the bears return home. “Forgetting her manners,” she walks right in. While picking blueberries, Goldilocks stumbles on the three bears’ home. This is a beautiful book with a fresh ending to the traditional story. While the story didn’t especially grab us, it’s a fun new take.
