Goldi+Rocks+and+Three+Bears

 Goldi Rocks and the Three Bears  By Corey Rosen Schwartz and Beth Coulton  Biography Information: Summary: The Three Bears are in desperate need of a new singer in their band. One day they go to audition the different animals when Goldi ventures into their house playing their instruments, trying on headphones and she ends up falling asleep on baby bear’s keyboard. When the bears wake Goldi up, she sings a perfect C note which allows them to decide she is exactly who they need in the band. Review: This children’s book takes a modern twist to the classic Goldilocks tale. It has the same structure as the classic tale: the three bears leave, and the young Goldi(locks) enters the building and tries different things in the house. Whether its porridge in the original or different instruments, Papa Bear’s is not right and neither is Mama Bear’s; however, Baby Bear’s is just perfect. This story is easy to read and a funny take on the original story. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Awards: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">None so far <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Analysis of a Literary Element: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The literary element I will focus on is the language seen in the book. The language and word choice is easily readable between the ages of 5 through 8. Also, another important aspect of the language used is the rhyme scheme which fits the age group this book was intended for. The rhyme scheme is ABCCB—“Once upon a rock-and-roll time/ three bears in a band jammed with ease/ The Papa Bear drummed/the Mama Bear strummed/ and Baby Bear tickled the keys. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Author(s) Biography: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 1.2em;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">There is not much about Corey Rosen Schwartz except for the fact that she is an author of picture and “fractured” fairy tales. She lives with her three kids and husband in New Jersey. There is no information on Beth Coulton. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 1.2em;">
