Goldilocks and the Six Simple Machines (Science Folktales) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jennifer Crain
Goldilocks and the Six Simple Machines by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I enjoyed the different fonts for words to focus on- like hot, cooled, fly, delicious etc.- made the book look more interesting and fun. I thought it was interesting baby bear is feminine- I guess in my mind, I always pictured baby as a boy.
The physics concepts integrated in the story (titled, flat, dripped, all) provided a nice twist to the story, and would interest even slightly older children as they replicated pitcher pouring or making something level like the table. Even as an adult, I giggled at the fulcrum/seesaw towards the end of the book!
