Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Tale vs. Truth by Gillia M. Olson

Are there any elements of truth in Goldilocks and the Three Bears? Bears might eat porridge, but they certainly wouldn't cook it! Bears would, however, go for walks in the woods. Integrating science with literacy, this book adds funny Truth Time sidebars to a retelling of Goldilocks, explaining real bear behavior, the science of breaking chairs, and more. Includes discussion of fairy tale traits, fictional vs. real comparison chart, glossary, and book and website resources. Perfect for young students just learning about fiction and nonfiction and real versus not real, this title supports CCSS standards for reading literature.
