Summary: SIMPLY A WONDERFUL BOOK
Review: First I must say 5 stars do not do this book justice. I read this book to my Kindergarten class and ALL were enraptured by this wonderful retelling of a classic fairy tale. They wanted to hear it over and over. It was such a popular book among my grade level collegues that the school librarian requested the ISBN number to order a copy for the entire school. I must say this book deserves 10 stars.

Summary: From one Leola to another
Review: I found this book because my name is also Leola. I was so excited to see something that shared my name I had to buy it. The frist thing i noticed apon receiving the book was the beautiful pictures. This will be a book that your children want to read over and over again!

Summary: Down home story-telling
Review: This book is a wonderful addition to your home library whether you have a youngster or not. My 3-year-old daughter actually received this book as a present from her nana and made her read it about 5 times that same evening. It is a delightful re-telling of Goldilocks and the Three Bears that you don't mind reading over and over again (as most children insist that you do). The southern flavor and colorful pictures make it a very unique treasure. Not to mention that now the typical blond and blue-eyed Goldilocks is now a bright-eyed, brown-skinned beautiful little girl whom my daughter can better relate to. A definite must have!
