Description
Fairy tales don't always end at "happily ever after"... sometimes they end up in court!
When Goldilocks brings her case against the three Bears to the Woodland Forest Court, Judge Olivia Otomayor must decide what's fair in a story everyone thinks they already know. Goldilocks says she's been unfairly called a burglar and a vandal. The Bears insist they're only telling the truth about what happened in their home. As witnesses take the stand and evidence is examined-from broken chairs to empty porridge bowls-Judge Olivia learns this case isn't just about breaking rules. It's about responsibility, honesty, kindness, and how words can affect someone's reputation.
Perfect for children ages 5-8, Goldilocks vs. The Three Bears is a fun and thoughtful fractured fairy tale that introduces young readers to ideas of justice, empathy, and problem-solving. With gentle humor and relatable characters, this story is ideal for classroom discussions, social-emotional learning (SEL), and family read-alouds.
Great for fans of fairy tale retellings, courtroom stories for kids, and books that teach life lessons through storytelling.
