Goldilocks and Just One Bear
by Leigh Hodgkinson
When a bear strolling through the woods loses his way, he finds himself in a big city! Needing a place to rest, the bear wanders into the ritzy, Snooty Towers apartment building and enters an apartment. As he explores the apartment for "just-right porridge" he samples a variety of objects, including the pet goldfish, but none are just right! A similar pattern follows as he searches for a good chair, humorously trying out a large cactus in his attempt to find a good place to sit! After falling asleep in a comfortable bed, the bear awakens to the owners returning home. As the bear comes face to face with one of the owners, both realize they have seen each other before, but many years earlier!
This was a cute, humorous sequel to the original Goldilocks story! The pictures of Bear trying out various items in the apartment as he tried to find ones that were "just-right" were great and very funny. I look forward to reading this as part of a Goldilocks unit with some of my classes!
