This quickly became my kid's favorite (3 years old at the time, now 4 and still loving it) and I often catch him “reading” it to himself (from memory). It helps that I made the baby bear a bit over the top, I'm sure.
To be honest, I was a little off put on first read - the book has minimum words and relies heavily on parents to remember the story from their childhood. This works for those familiar with the story, but leaves a lot of gaps for those who aren't.
I suffered a bit of a nostalgia shock when Goldilocks, in this version (and I assume most newer versions) ends the book by making up for her actions. It's a great shift for the story, but I was like.. c'mon, she doesn't even get eaten anymore? I was amused by this for way longer than I should have been. My spouse tells me it's been this way for at least 10 years.
