...This is an enchanting edition of the traditional Goldilocks story. If you've ever wanted to know more about Goldilocks or the three bears then this is the story to read! Lauren Child (best known for Charlie & Lola or Clarice Bean) brings the story to life with exquistite text and lovely little details (like Goldilocks' excuse for entering the bears cottage is needing to clean her muddy little red shoes that her mother had told her to look after). I never tire of reading this at bedtime to my 4 year old (be warned, it's a 20 min read at least!). He borrowed this again and again from the library for over half a year so we decided to buy him his own copy. Alongside the wonderful text is the beautiful photography of real life dolls and hand made cottages to illustrate the story. It really is enchanting and a delight to look at as well as read. Both boys and girls will enjoy this book for many years.
