Editorial Review :

This picture book is an adaptation of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the classic folktale retold with a special-needs twist. Children will find all of the familiar characters and scenes from the original story, as well as a few surprises-Baby Bear uses a wheelchair, goes to physical therapy while his porridge cools, and ultimately makes friends with Goldilocks. This new version is especially appealing to children with physical disabilities. It's also an entertaining tale for all children, with or without special needs.

Customer Review :

good book using familar story to teach about disability

As an RN I feel this book is useful in using an established storyline to introduce children to others who have a disability. Children who read this already know and can relate to the story, and therefore can use this information to better understand a friend or family member who may be confined to a wheelchair.

Funny and Educational - Highly Recommended

Funny and educational! I borrowed this book from the library and after reading it will definitely purchase a copy for our home! My children were captivated by this story and it was much better than I anticipated. A family of three bears lives in a house with ramps instead of stairs. Baby bear uses a wheelchair to get around, a transfer board to get from his wheelchair into his regular chair, a bed that goes up and down and he goes to physical therapy. The author and illustrator have done a marvelous job on this story. It's impressive to see a transfer board mentioned in a children's book and it's great to see Baby Bear using a regular chair. I couldn't help but laugh reading this book! For other fun children's books featuring a wheelchair user try Zoom! by Robert Munsch or Best Friend on Wheels: A Concept Book by Debra Shirley.

It's a great Book!

This a familiar story for children with a special twist. Baby bear is in a wheelchair. The story talks about his special equipment and his therapy but still tells the basic story familiar to the children. The pictures are delightful and the words are 'just right'. It is an excellent addition to our Head Start library.

Terrific

My daughter with cerebral palsy, (as well as her siblings) loved this book. Every piece of adaptive equipment she has had is represented somewhere. The therapy scenes depict cute animals with all degrees of ability. She will just sit and look through it sometimes. It may not get specific about the nature of the disability, but it is great for kids with physical limitations to see their challenges represented in a fun story!
