The vocabulary in this book can be more educational for students that are younger. As well as there being bigger words throughout that describe certain things.
I would read this in my classroom is we were going through a unit of fables, folktales, and traditional literature. I would also do a call and response type read aloud, so the students can take part in reading the book with me, as they know the storyline.
The Three Bears (2000) by Paul Galdone is about the tale of Goldilocks and the three bears. In this playful story, the illustrations give the book an old time feel of folktale stories and fireside chats. Through the pictures, there are colorful yet peaceful hues that create that warm environment for the book.
“When she jumped on the big bed it was too hard. The medium-size bed was too soft for bouncing, and the little bed was... 'Perfect!' Goldilocks sighed happily.“
I highly recommend this book for young children and for teachers to add to their classroom libraries. Classic stories are great to introduce to children of all ages and this should definitely be on your read aloud list.
This is a true to the original story telling of goldilocks and the three bears. The vivid illustrations truly bring the story to life. The story also explores themes of curiosity and respect for others belongings, making it a great lesson read for young children.
