Goldilocks and the Three Bears Hardcover – Picture Book, June 1, 2015

Our just-turned-two son has recently been into comparisons, similarities and differences ("Same!", "Up/Down!" "NOT daddy's bike!") that I felt Goldilocks would be right at home. Amazon's reviews, naturally, led me to this book.Looking through the Preview This Book pages, I was concerned the illustrations may be a little "muddled," but bought it anyway due to the great reviews. Well, my concern was inappropriate, and the Preview doesn't do this book justice. There is tons of detail in the drawings, and the pages a truly big, leaving lots for young and old to explore.The text is a bit wordy for our son, but that will change as time passes. In the mean time, the story is familiar enough that my wife and I can paraphrase the story as we flip through, do all the funny voices for the bears and Goldilocks, and punch up the sudden ending that leaves a little to be desired (spoiler alert: Goldilocks jumps out the bedroom windows and runs off into the woods).The bears are non-threatening enough that I'm fairly certain our little guy isn't going to have any nightmare difficulties at sleep time, and baby bear totes around his own stuffed teddy that caused out son and his "liddle bear" to instantly engage.

I absolutely adore this classic children’s book! Being a former kindergarten teacher, I take special interest in reading to my grandchildren. My two year old grandson LOVES this book. We acted it out one day & now he wants to act it out frequently! It’s a great book for comparison & sequencing. It holds children’s attention all the way to the end!

The classic storyline has not been modified or altered. The pictures cover the entire page and are filled with interesting detail. This is a great book to read aloud for story time, especially when you do the voices. My 18mo old son and I like to read the story once and then just flip through a second time to study the pictures the and point out objects. I'm surprised how difficult it seems to find classic stories that are not cheaply done or rewritten. The author/illustrator has done an excellent job dusting off this old classic.

I bought this for m 4-year old, and she really liked it. Pretty much the traditional Goldilocks story, with the endearing illustrations we come to enjoy about Gorbechev's books. Then only thing I'd change about it is the size of the actual book- it's really large, and the softcover gets bent out of shape as it gets read over and over. A little smaller book would be a little easier to hold & manuever when reading to a small child.

My son really loved this book. It had great illustrations and easy to go a long with. Would recommend this book to anyone

Excellent price for a hard cover. Love that this version is true to the original. Perfect condition!

It's a large book, well-made and I liked the illustrations. However, I didn't like the way it is written. Goldilocks is all in the third person. I also didn't like the author's adjectives (example, "middle sized mother bear's middle sized bowl") Also, at the end she runs off without a word. No doubt it's a question of preference but there's mine.

Thank you for this sweet book with the darling pictures!

Adoro questa versione della storia, dalle originali illustrazioni: acquistato anni fa in italiano per mia figlia, ora in inglese per i miei alunni. Non deluderà!
