This is the classic story of Goldilocks and the three bears that we all know. Goldilocks, who is the main protagonist, goes out to play and smells a delicious smell coming from a house in the woods. She walks into the house to find three bowls of porridge she tries each one of them and finally eats all of the smallest bears porridge. She then decides to find a seat in the three bears' house, then she decided to take a nap, and she lays in all three beds until she finds the most comfortable one. The bears come home from their walk in the woods to find Goldilocks has eaten their food, destroyed their house, and is sleeping in their bed. She wakes up, frightened to see the bears staring at her and runs away.
I have read this story as a lesson in my classroom, and my students seemed to enjoy this story. I asked them questions along the way, such as, would you go into a stranger's house? Overall I like this fairytale and would recommend it to teachers and students. ( )

i have always enjoyed the story of Goldilocks and the three bears. I was always curious how a young girl was able to enter a bear's home. I will always want children to read this story for the lesson of respecting people's property and privacy because one does not just go into someone's home and eat their food and sleep in their bed.

This story is about a little girl named Goldilocks, who was wondering around and ended up at a house that lived a family of bears. She ended up destroying their home and was found asleep in baby cubs bed. This book has been one of my favorites ever since I was a little girl, It catches the eye of young readers and can teach the students about the value of other peoples things and why you should not break what is not yours. A good follow up activity could be having the students work on sequencing and have them create their own story similar to this one. I would read this book to the younger aged students. I gave this book a 5 star rating because It is a classic and has been my favorite since I was a little girl. ( )
