关于这个故事

Goldilocks and the Three Bears comes from English folklore and was first published by the poet Robert Southey in 1837, when the intruder was a rude old woman. Later tellers made her a little girl, and by the early 1900s she was usually called Goldilocks. This bedtime version keeps the famous just-right pattern and adds a next-morning apology.

故事告诉我们

Other people's homes and things aren't ours to take, however tempting. And when we get it wrong, the brave thing is to come back, say sorry, and help put it right.

适合

Ages 2–6

讲给孩子听的小贴士

Use three voices for the bears, big, medium and tiny, and let your child guess who's next.
Pause on each too hot, too cold so your child can shout just right.
Act it out with three bowls, three chairs and three pillows.
