Summary: Witty and intelligent
Comment: A great book - there should definitely be more sequels to famous children's stories. Very witty, and doesn't take itself too seriously. Amusing illustrations too!
Rating: 5
Summary: Hilarous re-write
Comment: This book is really, really funny. I bought it for myself, as an adult, but will someday share it with my kids. I used to mess up the stories myself for my sister's kids-- they loved it when you made something different from the same old story they'd heard a thousand times.
It would be great for kids who have heard the Goldilocks story, and who wonder about the way Goldie seems to get off scott free for tearing up the Bears' house. I do see the point of those parents who are worried it teaches inappropriate behavior, but I think as one other reviewer pointed out, the fact that an "innocent" victim ends up suffering the consequenses of the bears' actions is a good lesson to teach. Definitely don't just leave this book lying around with no discussion of it! And since the best thing in the world is to read *with* kids, think of the teaching moment you have when the bears have to slink off at the end and the danger they face for not thinking of the possible consequences of their actions. And, finally, it's just plain funny, and kids love inappropriate humor.
I think that a sense of humor is a great thing for all kids to be exposed to at an early age, and the sense that stories aren't just supposed to teach, but sometimes to delight.

Summary: Tired genre brought to life.
Comment: Goldilocks and the Three Bears is in itself a cliche, and its spin-offs are usually insipid. Alan MacDonald has changed that by putting humorous twists on the story and adding a surprise ending guaranteed to delight all but the most stodgy. A perfect book to use with the original Goldilocks for comparing and contrasting using Venn diagrams. This book would be a wonderful addition to school and public libraries.
