Andrew Gallini's Reviews > Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Goldilocks and the Three Bears is a classic children's tale. It shows a family of three happy bears, each with their individual household needs designed specifically for them. One day, the three bears leave their well kept house to go off into the woods to wait for their breakfast of porridge to cool. Upon their departure, along comes the young aspiring home invader, Goldilocks. Thinking it is a reasonable thing to do, she peaks inside the window finding nobody home and walks in and begins to make herself at home.

The story starts off as many traditional stories do in the setting of a nondescript wood on the edge of some village. The characters presented to us are flat, with papa bear being a father figure, mama bear following suite, and baby bear having the characteristics of a young child. Goldilocks is even flatter, as the second she is introduced to the story she has no clear intentions as to why she is doing the things that she is doing, just the fact that she's doing them. The illustrations made in the book are intricate with vivid detail, and do well to compliment the words on page. The story ends with the moral that those who enter a place that is not theirs unannounced, they will be met with an unfavorable end.
