Traditional. Great take on the classic. The illustrations are what really make this retelling far different from any of the other retelling that you have seen over and over. The illustrations are extremely detailed and you feel like you are taken back in time to the old time of the story.

The illustrations are very detailed and help tell the story of what is happening. The langue is not very complex so it is easy to follow and a good read for any age.

This is a version of the classic story Goldilocks and the Three Bear. It tells the story of the three bears small, medium, and large, who each have their own things in their house. Goldilocks comes in and tries each of their things to find one that is just right. The bears discover someone has been using their things and they stumble upon Goldilocks when she ran away

I loved this book! Another classic fairytale that is timeless and is a great read in any classroom! Tells a good moral lesson while entraining the class.

This would be a good book to read when talking about a “just right book“ because that is what she says throughout the book.

This book embodies a classic fairytale. The illustrations are whimsical with lots of nature, wooden houses, and soft green hues. The story tells the classic fairytale in the perfect way.

Jan Brett's retelling and illustration of this classic tale is outstanding. I adore how German culture is represented in these drawings. At first, I thought the text would be too wordy for Julian (3y/o) but he was hooked the whole time. The dramatic expressions of the bears kept his interest... It was a joy to share a classic with him this evening!

tpixie I love her drawings. ESP the side panes! 3y

The artwork was quite different than other Goldilocks story books. In this story Goldilocks ran away at the end.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears by Jan Brett (traditional lit, published 1981) was different than the original version of the story, but still told the classic tale. It was more german culture showing, which I really liked. The illustrations show this a lot- and it‘s such a good story

I loved this story ever sense I was a child and reading it again brings back memories. I love the illustrations because it looks so old with design but it's such a great story.

"Goldilocks and the Three Bears", written and illustrated by Jan Brett, is a classic traditional literature (TL) tale that will never go out of style. This story could be used in a multitude of ways in a classroom environment, including a dramatic reenactment (DR). This stunningly illustrated book shares the story of a young girl named Goldilocks who stumbles into a home belonging to three bears. Of course, there have been hundreds of retellings

caldwellalex95 of " Goldilocks and the Three Bears", but the details in Brett's drawings are one-of-a-kind and truly breathtaking. Students will knock themselves out re-enacting this classic fable! The "Teachers Pay Teachers" website offers a plethora of options for teachers to choose how they want to execute a dramatic reenactment of the story. I have linked an option below for teachers to use that include story hats and props! ESOL strategy #21 and UDL's 6y
caldwellalex95 recruiting interest strategy (7.1) could be included in this dramatic reenactment lesson plan. If you are like me and you adore traditional literature, be sure to take some time and read Jan Brett's version of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears". Not only is the story a vintage staple, but Brett's illustrations are alluring and deserve all of the praise and attention it receives! #LAE3414SP19 6y

Folktale
Goldilocks and The Three Bears by Jan Brett
Dover Publications 1987
This is one of the most famous and classic folktales that i think most people do enjoy. Goldilocks learns her lesson at the end and never comes back to bother the bears.

This story doesn't represent cultural norms because the three bears live in a house, eating porridge, and sleeping in beds. Those are human characteristics, but the symbolism in the story is clear. The bears represent a classic family with roles of Father, Mother, and Son.

Traditional literature 2014. The book is just like the story was always been. The three bears have their breakfast made, but it's too hot and so they leave for it to cool down. While they are gone goldilocks comes eats, sleeps, and sits in the chair of the little bear after trying the momma and papa's stuff first. She wakes up to them looking down at her and she runs for the hill. The theme is dont take what's not yours.

This story was never a favorite of mine. I feel as if I‘ll read it to my future class because it is a traditional story, but I‘m not a huge fan of it.

The plot is simple and direct. The illustrations in the book extend the story and have tons of detail in them. The floral details in the clothing looks like it belongs to the culture that they appear to be in.

Personally, I have never been a fan of this tale most because I don‘t really get it. However, it is still a classic story that I would share with my children. The illustrations are bright, beautiful, and add to the story.
