Comment: This is a cloth book for all ages. It is soft and light weight. It is very easy to hold and each page has flaps and openings to touch, move and pass items through. It depicts 3 scenes in the classic fairy tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. There are 4 character pieces that are cushy but hold their shape. Their is a bag to hold the pieces and the story is written on the bag. Flaps reveal changes that occur in the story events. Fabrics were chosen to provide maximum visual contrast on each page. Stitching was done in black and outlined each section of cloth for visual emphasis. The characters are outlined with white cloth and black stitching for a more pronounced figure ground effect. Maximum visual clarity and impact help young learners picture the scene and imagine the event.

Bag for Character Pieces
The character pieces are stowed in the bag tied to the binding of the book. The story is printed on the front and back of the bag. Children love to take the characters out of the bag and then put them away again at the end of the storytime.
Front Page with Goldilocks
The story begins with Goldilocks walking by the house in the forest.
Goldilocks Going In the Front Door
No one answers when Goldilocks knocks on the front door. She decides to go in. The door has a little button door knob and swings freely to allow the characters to pass through. A child can participate in a very concrete manner when the story involves going in a door. This is especially helpful if the child is not grasping the full meaning of the concept from the narrative language.
