This gave me Grimm vibes and I'm not sure I liked it. I think fans of dark humor would definitely like it.

A Bear family (father, mother, cub) are having a lovely morning, and decide to go on an outing. While they're away, a reckless miscreant breaks into their home, tracks deer poo everywhere, eats their food, breaks their stuff, and finally falls asleep in the cub's bed. Imagine if this happened to you, how violated you would feel! When the Bears return home, they waste no time calling the authorities, who come and arrest the foul beast that invaded their home. Seeing Goldilocks taken away in the paddy wagon was very satisfying for me, it has always bothered me that such a thoughtless, destructive child was allowed to get away scot free, and I'm glad she has to pay for her crimes in this version of the tale. My thoughts and prayers are with the Bear family as the heal after this disturbing event.

This minimalist story about Goldilocks may not be a hit with the young audience for which it is intended. The graphic novel told in bright bold colors retells the story of Goldilocks who gets thrown in jail for trespassing, along with bringing deer poop into the Bear house. There would be a lot of discussion between an adult and child to help the child understand what was happening

A bold, minimalistic visual (and wordless) retelling of the classic story of Goldilocks and the three bears. If you’ve read the original story, then you could easily help your child fill in the story as you go along. For those that don’t know the original story, then there is a bit more room for imagination and interpretation.

I did like the spin at the end where, instead of getting away with everything Goldilocks did, she was held accountable. It may be interesting to read both the classic and this retelling together and see what our little ones think and talk about fantasy vs real world as a learning opportunity.

Thank you Netgalley and Orca Books for providing this advanced reader copy for review.

Intriguing format- wordless book, told entirely through pictures. It’s nice that Goldilocks is being held accountable for her actions, but I feel uncomfortable with the consequence being jail. I think many young children are fond of Goldilocks and her antics, and am not sure how they’d take to this twist. I would have preferred to see a situation where she’s able to make amends for the trouble she caused…

Thank you NetGalley and Orca Book Publishers for a copy of The Three Bears and Goldilocks by Bee Waeland to review.

What a great way to spark imagination and storytelling in young children. We all know the story we were told as kids but this offers the twist of Goldilocks learning there are consequences to her actions. I liked the illustrations and the use of colour. Also, the little touches such as Baby Bear switching stuffed toys at the end of the story, missing a front tooth and the way the area the Bears live in is a nice, peaceful area. Except, you know, for that brat that broke into their house. I would have liked to have seen a few panels of Goldilocks trying to explain to her parents what she did and what she had to do to make things right but, that's just a little quibble on my part. A great way to tell a story and a great way to introduce kids to comics and graphic novels as a different way to tell a story.

This is a visual retelling of Goldilocks and the three bears. There are no words and while the illustrations adequately tell the story, it could have benefited from written words. In this version, Goldilocks goes to jail which… I mean it’s great that there are consequences but I couldn’t imagine reading this to a child.

I don't know what I was expecting when I requested this book but I am glad I did because I got a good laugh. This is exactly how the original story should be and I don't think there is any more I need to say to that. The illustrations are adorable and just overall I had a happy feeling with this one.

This is a slightly unusual book in that it is a wordless picture book. This allows for children to tell their own story or come up with ideas using the pictures. This is great for very young readers who want to read so badly but can’t yet do so. It would also be great for teachers who want students to practice story telling and even critical thinking, going beyond a regular fairytale and creating your own story. I can see lots of great opportunities for this book in early years classrooms.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to “read” and review this great book!

While I liked that Goldilocks was actually punished in this version of the classic tale, I’d rather it have words. I feel like it could’ve been fleshed out better and taught children a great lesson.

Thanks to Netgalley and Orca for a free digital copy.

A very interesting graphic interpretation of the Goldilocks story told in only pictures. It wasn't for me. I don't like having to do that much work to figure out what is happening in a picture book. I want the words.

Thank you to Orca Books and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

The Three Bears and Goldilocks by Bee Wealand is a wonderful wordless picture book that is ripe for classroom use. The book is a retelling of Goldilocks, but with a twist. The story starts off as usual with Goldilocks "breaking in" to the three bears' house and stealing their porridge. But instead of getting away with it, what if she was held accountable? What will happen when the three bears call the police?

Overall, The Three Bears and Goldilocks is a delightful fairy tale retelling that teaches children about consequences. I found the ending of this book humorous. I also found that this book has many classroom applications. For example, when teaching English Language Learners, the teacher could turn the pages of the book and elicit language from the students. The teacher could ask the students to tell the story in their own words as pages are turned. I'm sure many teachers will enjoy teaching this book. If you're intrigued by the description, I highly recommend that you check out this book when it comes out in April!

This book has no words. And yet, if you know the story of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears, you know what is going on. But in this one, the Bears call the cops on her, and she is taken away and imprisoned for breaking, entering, and eating and trespassing.

It has always seemed odd to me that Goldilocks was never punished, in the other version of the story. What was that telling you. That is is ok if you are blond and white and not a bear?

Cute revision story.

<em> Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.</em>

Thanks for sharing!!!! Below is my review.

The three bears finally get justice. #onesentencesummary

I got to open a bookish gift thanks to another Netgalley read.

Though to be honest there wasn't much to read since there were no words. Still I love the tag line and how this story ended.

I also think not having words gives the child or person telling the story to someone else some freedom with creativity of the story they do tell. They can also add new details without having a prescriptive text to follow.

Breaking and entering is a crime- no matter who you are.
