I was delighted and enchanted to read the different versions of the traditional Goldilocks and the Three Bears in the Special Edition Novel of Goldilocks. What a treat it was as discovering these older and original versions. I can only think of what a Treasure Trove this is for an elementary teacher as so many learning extensions can be drawn from this novel, not to mention the poetry! An added bonus is the wonderful image gallery of some of the old time classic drawings.I had not heard of any of the versions included from Robert Southey and the other authors. I loved the version called ‘Scrapefoot’ by Batten where he has the bears living in a castle and the intruder is a fox. Many children would cheer being read these tales from their teacher, parent or themselves. As an educator and reading specialist I am going to recommend this novel to my fellow teachers.
