Deep in the Forest
In this clever, wordless turnabout on the Goldilocks story, a curious bear cub wreaks havoc in the cabin of a pioneer family out for a walk. Pencil-and-wash pictures bring the forest and Goldilocks' family frontier cabin to life, infusing the tale with a satisfying warmth, a sense of love and security, and just the right touch of humor.

Clever? Satisfying warmth? The only parts of the description I can agree with is the 'wordless' bit and, if I go out on a limb, the 'humor'. I'm at a loss as to how this isn't borderline theft. I can go draw a few pictures about a monster as a maid in a castle and with a nice step-father and the monster lives happily ever after and it's cool?
And, to make matters even worse Turkle didn't even deem it necessary to write. This is supposed to be a book correct?

This is a wordless picture book. It's just the complete opposite of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears". The bear in this story plays "Goldilock's" role, while the humans play "the three bears". I like this book, however, I think that someone who reads this book must have read the original in order to understand it. I think it's a clever idea that the book gives "the bears" side of the story. Again, this book can be used when teaching compare and contrast.

Brinton Turkle’s work looks as if it were done with more pencil sketching with a bit of watercolors. The pictures are dull in color but possess wonderful skills. The main colors Turkle used were brown, black, off-white, and gold. Each page is wordless which shows how great of detail he put into each illustration. As the bear enters the house you can see three chairs and three bowls setting on the table labeled “Papa”, “Mama” and “Baby”. Turkle divides two pages in half to show the bear eating ou...more
A bear cub stumbles across a cabin in the woods and wreaks havoc, Goldilocks-style, in this wordless picture book. Although the illustrations are rendered in dark, autumnal colors, the charm of the pictures wasn't lost on my young daughters. They laughed at the cub's antics, and were delighted when he safely escaped back to his mother. Personally, I like this version of Goldilocks, since it makes more sense for a bear cub to wreak that kind of careless havoc than for a little girl to do so.
Realistic style that doesn't feel like it puppets photographic reference because the illsutrator can draw! wonderful twist on Goldilocks story, poignant choices in facial expression adn camera angle to make a familiar story new again.One doesn't miss words in this story, which is unusual even for some terrific wordless books.
This wordless book shows a reverse of the typical Goldilocks story. A bear cub explores a human home - eating food, climbing on furniture, etc. It would be a great writing prompt, or could be used along with Goldilocks for compare/contrast lessons.
An interesting twist on the Goldilocks tale, told completely through black and white drawings. Interestingly, my sympathies lie with the bears in both versions.
Reverse take on the classic Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The little bear is the "Goldilocks" of this wordless picture book.
Interesting twist on the Goldilocks story with a little bear who happens upon a cabin in the woods . . .
Fractured fairy tale of "Goldilocks and the 3 Bears"; good story to have children tell their feelings on.
The opposite of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, very cute with descriptive illustrations.
Notes:

A little bear messes up Goldilocks' house in this cute reversal of a classic.
Brilliant.
So much more realistic than the original version.

I love wordless picture books for children. Very beautiful.
Twist on the Goldilocks story.
The description and the other reviews say everything I want to. Lovely (except the human women, imo), just a bit funny, heartfelt.
Adorable story ...reversal story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. In this sweet story, three real bears go into the house of a human. The pictures are cute.

This is a great wordless book. The story is a twist of "goldilocks and the three bears", where the bear enters the cottage and causes mischief.
