My Take on the Book
Most children are familiar with the story of GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS. This story will make you laugh and your child will want it read repeatedly. Papa Bear cannot help himself as he forgets his lines in the story . He is embarrassed as he realizes people are watching him (the people reading the story). As he tries to run away from the story and his embarrassment, he enters a story about a knight and a dragon, the Wizard of Oz and the race of the hare and tortoise. Poor Papa Bear.
Goldilocks and Baby Bear try to save the story, but it is Mama Bear who actually does.
Goldilocks is upset because her story is ruined, but in the end Papa Bear finally is able to become part of the real story again.
The illustrations are great and work well with this funny story.
