Goldilocks and the Three Bears

What is different about this version of ‘Goldilocks’ is the inclusion of rhyming verses dotted throughout. These mostly take the form of warnings or admonitions: ‘Stop Goldilocks don’t be hasty / Things could turn out very nasty,’ and give this retelling a ring of pantomime about it. It adds interest and gives scope for discussion but I’m not sure how well this works as a dual language text. For one thing, the rhymes are printed in italic fonts (in both scripts) to distinguish them from the rest of the narrative but this sometimes makes for a confusing looking spread. Overall, a pleasant enough title but not an especially outstanding one. (Available in 22 dual language editions.)
