review 1: This book was nothing like I expected. It was very charming and fun. Wjen the book first started, the bear is just wandering around the city and decides to go into a random apartment. I assumed it would be the exact opposite of Goldilocks and the three bears. Which it was. Except the end was a cute twist that referenced the original story. I loved that the bear ended up in Goldilocks home! On top of the total cuteness factor the story already had, the illustrations were awesome, and I loved that the font imitated the meaning of some of the words. Very fun, and I would definitely use this in my classroom!
review 2: In the midst of a story study, one of the best parts is finding the alternative takes on a familiar tale. Right now our home is filled with copies of... more the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. We have read at least six different versions of the original tale, each too many times to count. We have also enjoyed a few humorous accounts of this tale and GOLDILOCKS AND JUST ONE BEAR is one of our favorites. Hodgkinson mirrors the tale of Goldilocks with an adult bear who visits the home of a family. There is a mom person, a dad person and a child person. Hodgkinson adds relate-able, modernized elements and little listeners will laugh at bear's confusion. He tastes their goldfish, attempts to sleep in their bath tub, and falls asleep in the little boy's bed. After all this silliness, the bear wakes up to find he has stumbled upon the long ago disappeared Goldilocks and her family. The reunion, of course, ends with porridge. less
