Recommended read
Goldilocks By Stephen Tucker Recommended by Mrs C. Bould - TMPF Trust Reading Leader

This book is a fun, colourful and exciting retelling of a classic story, with a fantastic modern twist. In Stephen Tucker’s Goldilocks, our favourite character doesn’t just explore the Three Bears’ house - she is also confident, creative and loves to be unique, which helps to help remind children that it’s wonderful to be yourself.

Goldilocks’ bright, bold style matches the lively rhyming text and the cheerful illustrations by Nick Sharratt.

I think children will love this fun and vibrant version of Goldilocks, especially her unique sense of style. I hope everyone gets the chance to enjoy it!
