Goldilocks and the Three Bears (Keepsake Stories)

I was looking for a good basic version of several familiar traditional tales for my son, nearly 3. I've been very pleased with this whole series. The tales, Goldilocks included, are the basically the traditional versions, in language accessible to today's audience. Some of the harsher realities of the fairy tales are softened. But what pleases me most of all is that the repetitive classic lines we all remember from childhood are present! Little ones can commit those refrains to memory (and use them to repeat the story themselves!). It is also pleasing to me that the text, while simple, is not bland. In fact there is enough emotion and intrigue to capture the interest of the littlest listeners while not overwhelming them. And there are plenty of more difficult vocabulary words to challenge little ears. The illustrations in The Three Little Pigs are my favorite, but the others in the series are nice, too. Overall, a wonderful introduction of traditional tales to the younger listeners! Thank you!

I see what some people mean about Goldilocks face in one of the pages, but she’s supposed to not like the cold porridge, so she makes a face. I actually really enjoyed the artwork in this book. The story was cute. My child loves it. We read the book often. We also got as a gift for our friends. There are a lot of kid’s books that have no where near the detail or whimsy that this book has. I don’t mind that Goldilocks makes some funny faces. It’s actually kind of funny!

Wonderful book.

Cute version of Goldilocks and the three bears.

When I purchased this book, I was hoping for a book with colorful illustrations that still followed the classic "Goldilocks" story. Fortunately, I got both. We have another version where the artwork was sketched in black and white, and even though the story was perfect, my daughter wasn't the least bit interested in any of the pictures. This book however, has colorful artwork on each page which could basically tell the story itself. We've enjoyed reading it over and over, and I've now passed it down to my younger nephew since my daughter has outgrown the story. To this day though, she still remembers this book and the other classics in the set. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because the book is a bit flimsy, and the pages are pretty thin. It will get ripped easily by children if you are not careful. Other than that, it's a good bedtime or anytime read for children.

It's the classic story you grew up with. What is there not to like??? This is my daughters favorite book so we bought this and had it shipped to Grandma's house while my wife was up there with the kids. It was easier to get it shipped via Amazon than it was for us to have to worry about packing it (the other copy that we have is in a very large story book - but my daughter only likes to read this one story). With the way that the airlines charge for luggage these days every pound counts, so rather than waste a pound or so with the big book we just had this shipped up there. It was simple and waiting for them when they got there.

This series of classic children's books has nice illustrations. I have a more modern very of the Three Bears, but the illustrations fail to have the right number of bowls, or chairs, or beds, as the case may be, on the page I'm reading to my granddaughter. That's confusing to toddlers who are learning to count. This book has toddler friendly illustrations so is much better for our purposes. I bought this to go with a felt story board. My granddaughter and I love it.

The best part of this book for me is that the classic, original version has been preserved as I am not a fan of the modernization of the classics. The illustrations are nice and correspond very well to the story, making it easy for younger children to follow along. The book, however, is flimsy and tears/falls apart easily. I still gave it 5 stars because of the price.

My little girl is in reception at school and they are doing the topic of Goldilocks and the three bears. They needed to read other versions and see how they differed. This one was perfect for her. It is detailed enough to be worth reading but not too long and complicated for a four year old. The story held her attention well and she was even able to read some of it independently. A big hit!

This is a nice rendition of the old familiar story. There were a few extra details in this story which was nice. Our kids really enjoyed this little gem.

Piace molto. Molto educativo e semplice da leggere

Les illustrations de Laura J. Bryant m'ont permis de retrouver l'histoire de Boucle d''or et des 3 ours lu dans mes jeunes années. Je ne parle pas anglais j'arrive plus ou moins à déchiffrer les textes donc je vais laisser mon gendre anglophone raconter cette histoire à mon futur petit-enfant. Livre cartonné plutôt à mettre entre les mains d'adultes. Je recommande ce livre.

Muito bom para trabalhar com as crianças, ainda mais sendo um clássico contado dessa forma. Ótima contação.
