Synopses & Reviews
'"A fresh retelling of the familiar three bears nursery tale. Galdone presents a mischievous, impulsive Goldilocks minus a front tooth and the usual prettiness that has conventionally characterized her. The humorous, representational illustrations help children picture the desirable home and family life of the three bears. The initial double-page spread, which shows the father bear pushing the youngest family member in a swing while the mother proudly watches at the door of their log cabin home, is especially pleasing. Another realistic touch, the teddy bear of the Little Wee Bear which experiences the same mishandling as a real child's toy, will also enable children to better relate to the story. Four- to six-year-olds are sure to enjoy Paul Galdone's interpretation, and they should gain good visual concepts of size and of right to left from the delightful pictures and the use of various type sizes."—School Library Journal'
