This is a funny book based off the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Instead of a little girl, it is a little goat who eats everything, like a normal goat. She not only eats the porridge but all the furniture as well.
This is also a good book to compare and contrast with the original story. Personification and sequencing are other topics to be covered in the book. ( )

Goatilocks is a sweet fractured fairy tale about a young goat who gets herself into more than she can chew by taking a sample of just about everything in the bears home. This book is a well illustrated picture book that can be used in many different areas, beside being a nursery rhyme it is also a parody which can elaborate on many different literacy objectives. ( )

I loved this splintered version of this classic folk tale. The illustrations were fun and bright. I loved how Goatilocks was another animal instead of a human being and how she literally ate everything. Cute, fun twist to the story that children will love.

The story of Goatilocks is about a very hungry kid (goat) who lives near a family of bears. The bears leave for a walk and Goatilocks heads into the bears’ house and eats the porridge and the bowls they are in, tests out chairs and eats one, and finally tests out the bed, eats it, and falls asleep. The bears come home to a house full of chaos and soon discover Goatilocks asleep on the floor. Goatilocks wakes up and runs away. Goatilocks begins to feel guilty about what she has done so she brings flowers to the bears to apologize and they eat them! (Kim Harr)

Jesse says he would have preferred if the bears had found Goatilocks and then...ate her. Because that's more realistic he says.

I laughed out loud every time she ate something though. ( )
