I recently found myself left to my own devices for an extended period of time while my mother and sister were involved in an interminable project involving tissue paper. I cannot relate the particulars as they were working on top of the table, of which, from my usual vantage point near the floor, I have an extremely limited field of view. In justice, they did offer me a small section of tissue paper, which I accepted and carried around for a bit. It was not entirely unpleasurable.

Byron Barton's picture books can do no wrong in my book. I've been sharing them with my children and children at the library for the last 5 years. The colors are bright, virbrant, and a joy to behold. The text is always bold, black, and easy to read. He covers subjects that all little ones like to read about over and over again--trains, planes, dinosaurs, cars, trucks, astronauts. Now, he brings his brillance to the classic tale of The Three Little Bears with great success. Definitely a wonderfu...more

With bold, broad brush strokes and the bare essence of the story line, this board book version serves as the perfect introduction to the classic tale of Goldilocks as a gentle interloper in the home of the three bears.

Today's letter at story time was B and this fit very well with both B's in the title and author. This was a nice and simple telling of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears tale. Simple illustrations with bold colors.
Super cute story. Simple pictures with bold colors that hold the interest of young children. My son (age 2 1/2) really enjoyed this book. It followed the story line I knew as a child very closely as well.
Traditional three bears tale stripped down to the essentials. Big, bold, colorful, simple illustrations. Good for toddlers and younger preschoolers.
themes: bears, bratty kids, folktales

I got this from the library 2 days ago and my 3 year old, who is normally not very into books, has had me read it to her more than a dozen times already. I think we'll have to buy a copy.

This is a very simple retelling of the 3 little bears, it is very good for very young children. I always enjoy his retellings of simple folktales, like this and the little red hen.
Probably the easiest fairytale variation for the youngest children, Barton's 3 bears and Little Red Hen are perfect for infants and toddlers.
This is the perfect introduction to the tale. The boys memorized this and they love to do the voices of Papa, Mama, and Baby Bear.
Nice version of the classic tale that is geared towards very young children with the author's signature simple drawings.
Seth (age 3) like the simple illustrations and the story is well-adapted for the sometimes wiggly toddler or preschooler.
