Fab
The pictures in this book are designed to encourage children to talk about the book and predict what might happen next. The opening page shows a detailed scene, which introduces the main characters and vocabulary that appear in throughout the book. The book has essential style for early readers, simple straight forward sentences, large clear type, an easy to read font, repeated phases, lively humorous illustrations and a close match between pictures and words. It is part of a series of popular, traditional tales written in a simple way that young children can understand and read. `Goldilocks and the Three Bears' is a Read It Yourself Book; it is especially considered for children who are ready to take their first steps in reading.

What we think of Goldilocks and the Three Bears
I liked the bit where she tasted the daddy bear's porridge. It was too hot. I liked the funny faces she made when she tasted the porridge. I liked it when she slept in the beds; she fell into mummy bear's bed. Daddy Bear's bed was too hard and big. Baby Bear's bed was just right. When daddy bear saw her he got really cross. Goldilocks wasn't a very nice little girl because she went into the bears' house and ate their food and slept on their beds, and she broke the baby bear's chair. I liked the bit when she made the faces when she ate the porridge and I liked the bit when she fell in mummy bear's bed.

A lovely first story book
My fourteen month old son loves this book. Until now he has mainly been interested in looking at the pictures in books, but he actually lets me read this story to him. It is a very simple version of the story but is just the right length for a very small child. The illustrations are bright and engaging with textures to discover and feel. I think that this series of books are an ideal way of progressing from picture books to story books for babies and toddlers. I would however recommend another version with more text for nursery aged children and upwards.
