Another Goldilocks retelling by Jan Brett submitted by rea2mill on July 13, 2022, 8:31pm I made the mistake of checking this out at the same time as Jan Brett’s “The Three Snow Bears.” Both are just a retelling of Goldilocks and the three bears. It’s not this book’s fault, but I wasn’t really in the mood to read the same story twice for the same story time. But having compared the two I probably would recommend this one over the other since it’s a little bit more different from the original story. I liked that the mermaid left something for the baby octopus sort of in apology for breaking her chair.
