Sometimes it’s really nice to stray from the traditional just a little bit. These authors were impressive in how they added a little new life into a worn out story, through both illustration and story tweaks.
Goldilocks and the Three Bears by Caralyn Buehner and Mark Buehner (Dial Books for Young Readers, 2007). The Buehner’s rendition of the story gives Goldilocks a jump rope and a tendency to rhyme her sentences. The illustrations are bright and interesting, and I found the change from the “normal” to be delightful and fun, even after reading dozens of other renditions. Highly recommended for fans of the story.
