In this Chinese American retelling of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," a careless Goldy Luck wreaks havoc on the home of a family of panda bears. She eats up the littlest panda’s rice porridge, breaks his rocking chair, and rumples all the blankets on his futon. When Goldy takes responsibility for her actions, she makes a new friend (and a whole plate of turnip cakes!) just in time for Chinese New Year.
I was given an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
My rating: five of five stars
This retelling is beyond adorable. I love that it brings the culture of China into this book. The pictures are just beautiful and the main character is a kid I can imagine falling in love with. She is naughty, going into the Panda Bear's home, but she makes amends in the end and finds her luck in a new friend. Very cute book that both my kids (aged 6, 7, and 9) and I enjoyed it very much.
