Goldilocks and the Six Simple Machines (Science Folktales) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Katie Matthews
Goldilocks and the Six Simple Machines by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was such a great re-telling of Goldilocks and the Three Bears with a lovely STEM twist to it. It was everything I’ve come to expect from this author. The story is easy to follow and some fantastic talking points for the children and also a great way to compare the two stories and about different outcomes etc. Great way to encourage children to create their own endings to these lovely stories we all know and love. I loved the additional information at the end of the story that talked through the ways Goldilocks fixed the things throughout the tory – another great opportunity for the children to try these ideas out. The only thing that does let the book down is the illustrations unfortunately but the story was excellently written and really engaging!
