It's a lot of fun looking at Jan Brett books. There are always interesting pictures full of detail and the story is light and fun. Kids of all ages tend to enjoy her books and find something in them. This book is a take on Goldilocks and the Three Bears which substitutes the Arctic for the woods and an Inuit girl for Goldilocks. Everybody is friendly and nobody gets hurt. Very sweet and cute.

My first grade students "devoured" this book. The storyline kept them interested, while they gained new information without knowing it. I gave it as a gift to friends' young children....the adults enjoyed it as much as the "young-uns". This is another hit!

Another wonderful book from Jan Brett. Her illustrations make the book - the story is an adorable twist on Goldilocks and The Three Bears. This book would be a wonderful addition to any child's library or a classroom library!

Once again Jan delivers a beautiful story and continues her gorgeous illustrations that dazzle you with details. After a couple of not so great books, Jan is back on her mark! Nice to have her back on the right track.

As a Kindergarten teacher I relish a new great book to use with my students at school. This is a wonderful, artistic, multicultural adaptation of the original Three Bears folktail. Thoroughly enjoyed by the kids, as well as, myself. Jan Brett's illustrations keep you coming back fora closer examination as her borders are rich and give clues to what's happening next and while the story moves forward. Rich patterns, vibrant colors and artistry abound. Just plan fun! A welcomed addition to my rich treasury of books.

This is a great multicultural adaptation of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. I would definitely use this book with children from Preschool to Second grade. Comparing this story to the original would be a great activity for the kids to do. The illustrations are wonderful. I highly recommend this book.

I have read this book so many times, I could also say it without opening the book. My great grandson loves it and it has been made more real to him because we were able to download the characters to make a mural. He goes to it every day and tells parts of the story and what is happening. We have looked up Baffin Island on the map (He is very interested in maps and places on them). We are now studing this book and learning about eskimos and igloos and how how these people live. I really like the idea that we can download the characters from the internet, as I can't draw. Seeing them makes the lesson more real to a child.

The pictures and story in this book are a real treasure. Jan Brett breaths new life into the "goldilocks" story. Truly delightful. I could study the pictures for hours and still be awed by them. Buy it!

Once again Jan Brett proves that there is more than one way to tell a tale. Her setting, adaption of the story and especially her wonderful illustrations make this a book to be shared over and over with children of all ages. There are many levels to Jan Brett's books and what fun to explore this new angle of and old favorite.

This is another Jan Brett WINNER. The story and artwork are perfect. I bought it as gift, but couldn't resist reading it, myself, first. Now I don't want to give it away. I may have to buy another copy. I gave it 5 stars, but would have given it even more, if possible.
