Goldilocks and the Six Simple Machines (Science Folktales) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Tia Martel
Goldilocks and the Six Simple Machines by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
When Goldilocks comes up to the home of the Three Bears, she’s there to fix things. Now that she knows how to use six simple machines, she’s doing everything she can to help fix the stuff she broke and more!
It’s still Goldilocks like we know it, because the tools she has are too big or too small and she’s got to find what’s just right. When the bears come home to Goldilocks sleeping in the bed, they use a simple machine to lift her out.
Baby bear asks Goldilocks for help with her project, but can Goldilocks figure out how to use the six simple machines to help her?
This is such an adorable take on a fairytale. It would be a fun introduction to the simple machines or even just to help identify in a lesson.
A great little story for kids who love fixing things, teachers using simple machines, and homeschooling parents with science lessons!
