The illustrations show us that she plays practical jokes on her family daily and gets in trouble with her mother a lot, but she doesn't listen. It then goes into the fairytale which is told in a simple, straight forward way which is perfect for children in the Early Years to follow and join in with. Davidson incorporates what Goldilocks says into speech bubbles, which is a great way to introduce characters speech. It then goes on to incorporate speech marks when the three bears are talking therefore 'next steps' for children are already incorporated in the book.
