Goldibooks and the Wee Bear by Troy Wilson and Edwardian Taylor - ESSENTIAL

Goldibooks and the Wee Bear by Troy Wilson, illustrated by Edwardian Taylor
. PICTURE BOOK. RP Kids (Running Press), 2021. $18. 9780762496204 

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Goldi and her parents love books – they have their own bookcases and their own reading chairs. One day while they are at the library, a bear cub, desperate for some reading material, wanders in and tries out all the shelves, sits in each chair, and takes a nap – until the family returns home. 

What a wonderful remake of the Goldilocks story. All of the details are there with the perfect twists to reverse the perspective. And book lovers will love the new connection to reading. Wilson expands the ending to a wonderful celebration of bookish community.
