Stephanie Fitzgerald (stephbookworm) | 14 comments Would love to re-read this book; I remember giggling with my kindergarteners as I read it out loud!


Stephanie Fitzgerald (stephbookworm) | 14 comments No; it had a more catchy title. And the bears were pretty “modern”, for bears!🤣For example, the baby bear wore a baseball cap as I recall.

Rainbowheart | 28687 comments Ah! Yes, I thought the Galdone book might be too old.

What do you think is the latest it could have been published? 1999?

Rainbowheart | 28687 comments Goldilocks and the Three Bears?

No imaginative title, but Baby Bear is wearing a baseball cap.


Stephanie Fitzgerald (stephbookworm) | 14 comments No, that’s not the one. I remember the baby bear’s lines being very toddler-like. Example: “Feeda ducks!” was his comment while at a pond with his bear parents.

I did find a list of Goldilocks adaptations. Anything look familiar?

Rainbowheart | 28687 comments No prob! Still looking....

Do you think I should cut off searches at 1999, or could the book have been published after that?

It was definitely published before 1999; I read it to my students before that, in ‘94 or ‘95.

Thanks, but no; the book I’m looking for was published sometime in the ‘90’s.

Kelly (khek) | 270 comments If you remember "Feeda ducks!" It could be Somebody and the Three Blairs by Tolhurst. It's actually three humans --Mr Blair, Mrs Blair and Baby Blair, who go for a walk, and Somebody comes in and destroys their house. It's a great book, and Baby Blair does wear a cap, so it's possibly the right one...


Stephanie Fitzgerald (stephbookworm) | 14 comments THAT’S IT!!!🤗👏🏻🎉🎊 Thanks to Kelly, Rosa, and everyone who posted to help me find this wonderful book!💕

Rainbowheart | 28687 comments Awesome, glad you found it!

I saw that one when I was searching, but I thought surely not because there was only one bear, lol.
