Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Author/Illustrator: Janet Stevens
Genre: Traditional Literature
Grade: Kindergarten and up


A family of three bears lives in the forest. In the house contains three things of each. Three beds, three bowl, three chairs, and many more. One day, the bear family decided to go for a walk while waiting for their porridge to cool down because it is too hot. A little girl named Goldilocks was roaming around and saw the 3 bowls of porridge inside the house. She went in and tasted each of the porridge and end up eating the small bowl of porridge because it was just the right temperature. She then explored the whole house and ended up sleeping in the little bears bed. The three bears finally went back home and saw their porridge was eaten, the little bears chair broken, and their bed messy. They then saw a girl sleeping and Goldilocks woke up and ran as fast as she can outside the bear’s house and decided that she will never wander alone in the forest ever again.


This is a simple story book and I would recommend this to Kindergarten and up. I would read this aloud because it is repetitive and the students will get a grasp of it easily. The illustration in this book is a mix of water color and sketches. The illustrations are very colorful and the bears faces are very well drawn based on their emotions. This is a retold of the original story and it is a simple one because it is straightforward and it teaches a lesson in the end.
