Goldilocks And The Three Bears - Couverture rigide

* "Aylesworth turns the traditional, all-in-fun nursery tale into a coy lesson -- save for the pictures -- in doing as mother says. McClintock is ideally suited, of course, to illustrating the core of the story: her characterization of the Three Bears is on a par with the animal portrayals of Wallace Tripp, for one distinguished example, and her dramatic, humorous staging of familiar scenes gives new life to the Goldilocks/Three Bears face-off. Would that that were, indeed, the whole story." -- The Horn Book, starred review

* "Another excellent rendition of a favorite folktale....At once antique and immediate, this Goldilocks will sassily invite herself onto library shelves everywhere." -- School Library Journal, starred

* "A conversational voice, delightfully fussy pictures and a recipe for 'Mama Bear's Porridge Cookies' make for a satisfying nursery story." -- Publishers Weekly, starred reviews
