The readers are already engaged because the book already correlates to a previous known fairytale, yet this story shares a twist. Instead of following Goldilock’s journey of unknown, we are following the bears adventure in an unfamiliar location. In this version, the cub is all grown up and ventures into the city. I really enjoyed this variation of Goldilocks and the three bears this particular story is called Goldilocks and Only One Bear. Meeting the ELA Idaho Standard: RI.5.5 Compare and contrast the overall structure (e.g., chronology, comparison, cause/effect, problem/solution) of events, ideas, concepts, or information in two or more texts as well as Anchor Standards for Reading: .9 Analyze how two or more texts address similar themes or topics in order to build knowledge or to compare the approaches the authors take. You could set up a Venn Diagram and help the students come up with similarities and differences between the two stories. In addition, I may want to complete a compare and contrast lesson in between the stories Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Goldilocks and Just One Bear. In the classroom, I would use this book to assist students with writing and reading skill: problem and solution. You will be surprised and thrilled to see who the loft is owned by in the ending of the story. Here, he goes through a few memorable activities which lead to his nap only to be awoken by the family that lives there. The bear decides that he needs to rest and finds an uptown loft to do so. I recommend taking time at looking at the detail, it is really fun. Within the pictures you see the street sign Princess Avenue and building signs such as The Three Little Pigs Bank. I absolutely love both the pictures and font used to illustrate this book. The story begins with a bear who is lost in the city. This selection is under the Writing & Reading Section for mentor texts to use for helping students understand Problem and Solution. I selected the book based on Ramona Recommends: Picture Book List for Upper Grade, a free resource on Teachers Pay Teachers. The character Goldilocks always made me giggle and then later in life I began to wonder, what on earth was she thinking? So today's #BookaDay picture book, Goldilocks and Just One Bear by Leigh Hodgkinson was an absolute delight. A fun read-aloud and a great addition to any fractured fairy tale collection.Īs a little girl, one of my favorite stories was Goldilocks and The Three Bears. Kids will love the over-the-top humor, and the illustrations a la Lauren Child (Hodgkinson is an animator for the Charlie and Lola TV series) are delightful. But when the mommy person and the bear see each other- a glimmer of recognition- could it be? The grown versions of Goldilocks and Baby Bear reunite, and all is happily ever after. Once he settles into his "just right" bed, the family comes home, and the daddy person, the mommy person, and the little person quickly realize that SOMEBODY has been messing with their stuff. The first dish (a fishbowl with some goldfish swimming around) is too soggy the second (goldfish crackers for cats) is too crunchy the third (buttered toast) is "a bit on the dry side, but it is better than nothing." He is similarly flummoxed when he looks for a comfortable chair- the first (a cactus) is too prickly. The familiar tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears is turned on its ear when a bear, lost in the city, stumbles into an apartment.
