Goldy Luck and the Three Pandas Paperback – Picture Book, December 1, 2015

I am thrilled to have added this to my classroom. The children loved this story and it for our theme so nicely.

This multicultural book reimagines the story of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” against the backdrop of Chinese New Year. Goldy Luck is a relatable protagonist - tired and trailed by bad luck - until an encounter with The Chans, her neighbors who happen to be panda bears. The book is educational about the themes and customs of the holiday. There is additional information at the end, which includes a recipe for the turnip cakes featured in the story. My toddler enjoys the book and often requests “Goldy.” As a parent, I appreciate the lessons on friendship and accountability as well as the use of interesting verbs to convey the actions of the characters.

We enjoyed this book so much, and kicked off a week of international breakfasts with congee. Brightly and beautifully drawn, we enjoyed reading it multiple times during our week focus on this tale.

My child loves the book and we read this to his class as well for the new years

Funny but good book about Lunar New Year .

We love this book - it's such a joy to read this story to our 5 year old. He loves it. It's really cute and well done.

I've read this book 100 + times, my toddler wants me to read it over and over again. It's beautifully illustrated and helped us learn about Chinese culture and traditions. Highly recommend :)

I ordered this book to use in our Fairy Tale unit. I felt my students in Korea would love this version of Goldilocks, as they could connect to the cultural references. I was right! The setting, illustrations, humor, and character development added interest and content for discussion. Thank you for shipping this quality book in a timely manner.
