Review # 1 was written on 2017-10-10 00:00:00 Don Michaels Summary: This book is about a young girl named Dusty Locks who lives way out west. She goes into a cabin that is a home to bears and helps herself to a supper of beans, then tries out the chairs, and the beds. After trying out one last bed, she falls asleep and the bears find her. She runs out of the house as fast as she possibly can when she realizes the bears have caught her. Evaluation: I gave this book an overall rating of 3. I think this book is very interesting and engaging, however I have read the original book and I think it is much better. I also feel like this book was not hard to create just because it was not based off of original ideas. Teaching Point: A teaching point that I think would be very effective for this book is comparing and contrasting. I would read this book to my students as a guided reading that may be in kindergarten, first or second grade and ask them to make their own graphic organizer to compare and contrast specific elements that are in both Dusty Locks and the Three Bears and Goldy Locks and the Three Bears

Review # 2 was written on 2017-10-25 00:00:00 James Dunevent This version of Goldilocks follows the same storyline as the original. Although I thought it was a good read, I find that it is too similar to the original to enjoy it. Dusty Locks goes into the house, eats porridge, sits in a chair, and falls asleep. When the family of bears come back home, Dusty Locks is barely able to escape. The illustrations I thought, were what caught my attention after opening the book. After reading the entire book, I lost interest because it followed and told almost the exact same story as the original did. If I were to look for fractured versions of Goldilocks I would choose a different one than Dusty Locks, after my experience reading this book.
