Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Tony Ross

978-0099298502, RRP £2.50, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "Goldilocks and the Three Bears (A Sparrow book)" on Amazon

The traditional story but given a touch of Tony Ross humour so the bears are of the polar variety, Father Bear wears spectacles to watch television and Goldilocks has a thick thatch of hair and wears jeans and sneakers. The text too is enlivened by Ross's embellishments: Goldilocks is 'a rather nosey little girl', hence her venturing into the bears' house uninvited when they were out visiting Great Aunt May who 'can't hear a word we say and just sits there knitting'. Such embellishments make this rendition particularly popular with solo readers seven and over who have enjoyed listening to the more straightforward versions. Don't miss this one.
