Fantastic entertaining read. Great artwork. Felt robust. Lots of
detail in the pictures. Great for slightly older kids who can appreciate the
detail. She enjoyed the story but the complexity of the story is lost on young
children. They enjoyed it and have asked for it to be read again. This is
certainly a stimulating book. Good story
and illustrations but for slightly older children. Good value price is similar to other similar
books. We would definitely take it out from the library. Would recommend to family and friends. Entertaining read with great illustrations
and an imaginative twist. Helen

Loved the
cover looked very appealing. The quality
of the book was great. We really loved
the illustrations and enjoyed reading this story together. This is quite a
detailed story and Lynne did get a bit confused at times, but we read this over
and over again and is now one of her choices for bedtime story. It is a stimulating story as characters from
other well-known stories all rolled into this new format. A good read and certainly enjoyed. We would purchase more in the series as I we
liked the illustrations and way written.
Have already recommended. Good
value. A very interesting story which we
both enjoyed. Magdalena Masters – Lynne 5 Years

It was like all the other books we have at home. The quality is lovely. My children couldn’t
wait to read it and find out about the bear. They loved the pictures. Story
time is our favourite part of the day but this story was very confusing for
them. It was quite disjointed and even my 5 year old was confused. When I
explained that the bear was from the book, goldilocks & the three bears,
they got scared that some of their own book characters might escape their
books. It scared them rather than
stimulate them. Not very well written for younger children. As a story, it was
OK but I was able to understand where the bear and little blonde girl came from
and what the writer was trying to convey. I would not purchase this book. I would however recommend to parents with
older children. We love to read but this one didn’t impress me or my children. Donna Caldwell – Libby, Andrew &

Would recommend to family and friends. Entertaining read with great illustrations and an imaginative twist.
