Bear and the 3
Goldilocks
By Kevin McNamee
Illustrated by Robert
Lee Beers
I love twists on our old familiar fairy tales. We
used to call them fractured fairy tales. Kevin McNamee’s “twisted” fairy tale, “Bear and the 3
Goldilocks,” is adorable. This one is more of a mixing and
melding of three of our favorites. We have the three Goldilocks girls visited by Bear
(nice twist) and the big bad Wolf, who’s looking for the three little pigs to
blow their house down. The three pigs make a cameo appearance at the beginning
of the story to trick the wolf into going to the Goldilocks girls’ house, and
again the pigs are alluded to in the end.
The illustrations by Robert Lee Beers are funny and upbeat.
They capture the mood of the story perfectly. The three Goldilocks girls are perky
and cute, Bear is very big and looks great, and the hapless wolf is just scary
right. The story is a delight for the eye and ear.
“Bear and the 3 Goldilocks” is
great fun to read. This book is quite a good example of tongue-in-cheek done
well. I know you’ll enjoy the twists Mr. McNamee has included as
much as I did. The final scene is perfectly priceless.
Recommended for readers age four through eight, but will be
enjoyed by older kids, parents, teachers, and grandparents, as well.
