review 1: Corey Rosen Schwartz and Beth Coulton gave a groovy new twist to a classic fairy tale, writing a story that literally – and literarily - rocks! In this updated version, the most famous and adorable bear family in the literary world has a rock band, and they’re looking for the perfect lead singer – a soprano – to take their music to a higher level. Could Goldi be the golden voice they need?Beyond hilariousness, this book is a truly fabulous work of art, in every single aspect. It’s wonderfully written, totally witty and hip, and, if all that wasn’t enough, it is also packed with the most excellent rhyme. Every verse sings, giving the story a unique musical quality that fits the concept perfectly. Nate Wragg’s illustrations are beautiful, lovely, and extremely ... morecute. Without losing that timeless fairy tale charm - giving each page an enchanting warm and cozy feel -, his style harmonizes a classical sweetness with a swinging upbeat groove.Every beat is fun and marvelous, making this picture book a real delight for kids - even for the not so little ones (myself included) who have already passed the two digits (long ago). Goldi Rocks and her furry friends have definitely earned a snug spot in my heart!
review 2: Who'd ever think that Goldi Locks would find the perfect gig? Just like the perfect high C that Goldi Rocks hits, this fractured tale tackles rhyme in perfect rhythm and has a real stage presence. Teach kids how to make text to text, text to self, and text to world connections by comparing this story with other Three Bears tales and bear nonfiction. Goldi Rocks provides a stellar model for character analysis and retelling skills. Just take it from my first graders, "Goldi really rocks!" This is the first book they look for on my classroom shelf! less
