This tale emphasizes the moral of the story through the use of repetition. In addition, it shares the importance of never entering a stranger's house through the use of a fairytale setting.

This book, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, is a traditional folktale book. This book is about a little girl, Goldilocks, who enters the house of the three bears. This fairytale shares Goldilock's journey in the bears house. The tale provides a moral of the story which is to never enter someone's house without permission.

“'Somebody has been in my porridge!' said Papa Bear. 'Someone has been in my porridge!' said Mama Bear. 'Somebody has been in my porridge,' said Baby Bear. 'And eaten it all up!'“

blurb
laurenkiernan

Because this story has so many adaptations and is such a classic students will enjoy any version you read to them. It could also be a good idea to read various versions and compare and contrast them in a fairy tale unit since so many fairy tales have so many different versions.

“Goldilocks and the Three Bears“ is a classic fairytale that has many adaptations and versions but all of them have the same theme that you should never enter anyone's house without being invited in. Something that makes it a fairy tale is because there are the bears that talk and live like humans which is obviously something that is not natural.

quote
liz.eng

The three bears were mighty hungry. But when they went in for breakfast, they could scarcely believe their eyes! “Somebody has been in my porridge!“ said Papa Bear. “Somebody has been in my porridge!“ said Mama Bear. 'Somebody has been in my porridge,“ said Baby Bear. “And eaten it all up!“

blurb
liz.eng

The moment when the Three Bears come home from their adventure out and notice that their porridge is eaten, one of their chairs is broken, and there is a little girl in one of their beds without being invited in.

This story is a fairy tale. This is a fairy tale because no bear lives in a house with clothing and furniture. This story is about a girl named Goldilocks who is a little girl who does not have any manners. She walks right into the bears house without even knocking and eats their porridge, sits in their chairs, and sleeps in each of the beds.

quote

“Meanwhile in a clearing deeper inside of the forest, in a charming house all their own, a family of brown bears was sitting down to breakfast.“

blurb

I would use this book in my classroom to teach children the importance of never entering into someone else's home or property without their permission. Also, the importance of not intruding someone's privacy.

The type of literature this book uses is folklore and fairy tales. It uses folklore but encompasses the traditional story of Goldilocks and The Three Bears. Finally, this story is a fairytale because it is a magical story.

“Goldilocks woke up with a start. And her eyes nearly popped out of her head.“

blurb

I would read “Goldilocks and the Three Bears“ in my classroom to not only expose my students to classic and famous fairy tale traditional literature, but also to teach them the importance of respecting personal space and privacy. This book is a great way to teach and emphasize the importance of respect others in all situations.

“Goldilocks and the Three Bears“ is a classic example of a traditional literature fairy tale. This book is considered a fairy tale because of its magical talking bears, the presence of good vs evil characters, conflict, resolution, and a lesson or moral that concludes the story, which is that one should never invade another's home or privacy.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears was written by James Marshall and published in 1991. This is a narrative of a little girl named Goldilocks who is seeking her place in the world. She accidentally discovers the three bears' house one day. Before settling on one of each that is ideal for her, she tests out three porridges (bowls of oatmeal), three chairs, and three beds.

Blurb:
I am going to tell my class that while I am reading this book, they need to think about what is real/ possible and what is not possible that is happening in the book. Then, after reading the book, we are going to discuss what events or things happened that could happen in real life and what could not.

Review:
This is an example of a beast tale as the characters are bears. And an example of a fairy tale since there are talking bears doing human things and talking with a human girl. There are some cumulative parts because the words “somebody sat in my chair“ and many other phrases are repeated throughout the book.

quote
merkerk4

“Then Goldilocks tasted the porridge in the little bowl, and it was just right -- neither too hot nor too cold.“

blurb
merkerk4

This is a great fantasy book to tell to young children. The story follows a theme as Goldilocks states something is “too _____“. Once the bears come home they state “Somebody has been _____...“. And so on.

“Goldilocks and the Three Bears“ is a beast tale. In this beast tale, the animals are the principal players in the story. In this story, Goldilocks goes into the bear's house and goes through all their things while they are gone. The bears come home to find their things all misplaced and Goldilocks taking a nap in one of their beds.

I enjoyed reading this book because I am familiar with the story, I liked how some of the details were different but the basis of the story was the same. I also enjoyed analyzing the illustrations because looks of design elements come into play to create the whole image.

This book is a retelling of the classic story, Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The story is very similar to the original one. The illustrations in this story use line to show movement. They also use shape to carry the message of big, bigger and biggest. This tory uses color to convey the personality of the three bears, the daddy bear has darker, more neutral colors, the mommy bear has brighter colors, and the baby bear has all colors.

“What a sweet child,“ said someone new in town. “That's what you think,“ said a neighbor.

I like at the beginning when the neighbor tells someone else that they only think Goldilocks is sweet.

I enjoyed this version of the classic story. James Marshall did an excellent job showing how ornery and mischievous Goldilocks is in the story through his illustrations. It is a classic tale and this version of the story is another good addition.

This is a great selection for an intro into fairy tales. It is a cult classic and the students can put their own twist on the story.

This traditional literature book by James Marshall is a classic. It is a winner of the Caldecott Honor Award! It‘s the classic story of Goldilocks and in this story she‘s known as a bad little girl who doesn‘t follow rules! It‘a a timeless story everyone will love. https://www.kidssoup.com/activity/goldilocks-and-the-three-bears-activities-craf... This link has an activity to make bear and gold hair headbands!

ReaganT It would be fun to have the students pick if they wanted to be a bear or Goldilocks! I think the activity would go well with UDL guideline 3.2 highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships. ESOL strategy 46- use discovery learning activities (hands-on-activities) 3y

Goldilocks and the Three Bears is a well known TL. James Marshall retold and illustrated this story winning the Caldecott honor. This book is neither too boring or too intense, this story is just right to share with students as a RT. I think this fun story about Goldilocks finding the three bears home and finding her right fit is a great way to cover UDL principle 7.2-Optimize relevance, value, and authenticity. #UCFLAE3414SP20

VictoriaG The RT also covers ESOL Promote cooperation (small groups).

I remember hearing this story growing up! This book is TL and is lovely book for S. In the story you learn about Goldilocks and how easy it was for her to break the rules. This book won a Caldecott Award. The UDL Principle used is (9.3) self assessment and reflection, student can reflect on how this story is different from the Goldilocks story they heard growing up.

LizzettM EL 17 strategy, is providing contextual support through audio visuals will allow student to visually understand the text. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/857556.Goldilocks_and_the_Three_Bears

“Goldilocks and the Three Bears“ by James Marshall, 1998. Traditional Literature. I love this book! It's a classic. The plot is simple and direct, and keeps true to the original story. The language is lively and will keep children's attention.

I would use this book in a future classroom because the images are more comedic than the original versions, so children would engage in these funny images. Also, they would enjoy a fresh version of a story that they already know.

This book was a fun take on the original story of Goldilocks. This traditional literature has mention of the original source, and the illustrations help the story by giving it a different look than the original. Also, the plot is simple and direct so children can easily follow along.
