A Different Way to Look at It!
When the three Goldilocks, Mr. Goldilock, Mrs. Goldilock, and Goldie Goldilock, go camping they are not prepared for bears. When they decide to go for a walk, a bear comes in to their camp, and eats all the smores they left out. Then he eats every bit of their food, destroys their campsite, and goes to sleep in one of their tents.
While trying to scare the bear away, they attract the bear’s parents. Even though the parents are apologizing for everything their son has done, the Goldilock family only hears the bears growling at them. 
They decide it is a good time to go home. 
This is a hilarious fractured folktale that will be funny to everyone, but even more so to those who has heard the tale of, “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.”
The illustrations really add to this tale, and make it even funnier. Point them out, and be ready for lots of giggles. This five-star picture book will be enjoyed by children ages three through seven.
Thanks to Candlewick Books for providing Tickmenot with a book to review. Opinions are my own.
