I found this adaptation of Goldilocks and The Three Bears to be humorous and light hearted. I enjoyed how the author poked fun at Goldilocks implying that she had "forgotten all her manners" when she made herself at home in the bears' cottage. This picture book also featured an alternate ending where Goldilocks accompanies the three bears in cleaning up her messes around the house and assists with making blueberry muffins. The end of the book also features a recipe for readers which I think would be a great project to do with students after reading this book. I really enjoyed this revision of a classic tale that still captured the essence of the original work. ( )

From what I have always remembered, the tale of Goldilocks always ended with her running away from the bears after they have discovered her in their home. In this story, the three bears and Goldilocks ended up making blueberry muffins together.
The author definitely added some suspense in this story, and I was ready to flip the page to see the bears eat Goldilocks. When Goldilocks offered the bears her blueberries, Mama Bear said that she knew something that was even tastier. The illustrations were so misleading that I thought Mama Bear was referring to Goldilocks to eat, instead of blueberry muffins. ( )

This story follows Goldilocks as she's picking blueberries in the forest. She stumbles upon a house and disregards her manners and walks right on in! She makes herself at home eating the bears porridge, sitting in their chairs, and even lays in their beds! The bears arrive at their home and realize someone has been in their home. There is a surprise twist, they all wind up making blueberry muffins together.
I absolutely love that they have the recipe for the blueberry muffins at the end of the book! I will be making them. The illustrations are so beautiful and detailed. ( )

Summary: A retelling of Goldilocks and the Three Bears in which she helps them to clean up their home at the end and they all bake blueberry muffins. ( )

This fairy tale follows Goldilocks, who is picking blueberries in the forest. She comes upon a house made for three bears and she makes herself at home. She eats their dinner, sits in their chairs, and sleeps in their bed. When the bears arrive home, they notice her in the bed. Once Goldilocks notices the bears, they all begin to bake blueberry muffins together.

This story is filled with some twists. Just when the audience thinks Goldilocks will be eaten, it turns out all she is going to do is bake muffins. The author used traditional aspects to a fairy tale including "once upon a time." The illustrations were vivid, and looked realistic. ( )
