So cute and compelling!
I absolutely adore this book because it harkens back to the Victorian era, both in illustrations and in language. It is witty and moral, without being preachy. There are several really nice personal touches throughout the book that bring the characters to life. My 4 year old daughter really fell in love with this book and often refers back to it during her imaginative play! Well done!

Incredible Classic!
This is a beautiful Goldilocks book with the most amazing illustrations you will find anywhere!Illustrations make or break a book for me, and this one does not disappoint.My daughter is almost 3 and wants to hear this story over and over, and I love to read it to her.

VERY highly recommended!!

The Perfect, Traditional Goldilocks
Traditional tales like Goldilocks are a great way to expose young children to language.It can be difficult to find traditional versions of classic folktales with good illutstrations.My three-year old loves this version of Goldilocks and is totally engrossed in the detailed illustrations every time we read this book.

Wonderful Rendition of a classic
I must admit it was the illustrations that lured me into purchasing this book and am now a real fan of Ms. McClintock.Somewhat reminiscent in style of the Victorian Illustrator and cartoonist for PUNCH, Sir John Tenniel of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" fame. Now if only this duo would do Grimm's "Hansel and Gretel" all would be right with the world! It would be so nice to see more illustrators such as Ms. McClintock give a child's imagination something from which they may take pleasure. I think we may see this illustrator follow in the path of such illustrious names as Kate Greenaway, Anne Andersen, Gennady Spirin, etc.! Bravo and many thanks!

Goldilocks
I read the book Goldilocks And The Three Bears
by Jim Aylesworth and illustrated by Barbara
McClintock. This book is about a little girl named Goldilocks who snuck in the three bears
house eating their porridge, sitting in their chairs, and sleeping in their beds. The author
wrote this story because he wanted to tell you
that don't go on peoples property without
permission. The conflict is person verses person
because Goldilocks went in the three bears house without permission. I think Goldilocks
is sneaky and the author made the three bears
nice and understanding. The other version of
Goldilocks And The Three Bears is the same
as this one. Kids should read this book because they will learn a lesson to respect people's property.
I liked this book because I like how the author wrote the story because it wasn't too easy or too hard. I didn't like the book because I didn't like the book because I didn't like the illustrations because they looked kind of weird.
