vs.

Goldilocks

and the

Three

Bears by James Marshall

The Three

Snow Bears by Jan Brett

A Compare and Contrast Literacy Unit by

Cutesy Clickables

This packet was made using Goldilocks and

the Three Bears by James Marshall. The

inferencing page and the cause and effect

page goes with that particular story, but

the other pages of the packet could be used

for any Goldilocks story. If you want to stick

with the same author, Jan Brett also has a

version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

This unit is meant to compare and contrast

the 2 different versions of Goldilocks. I

wanted to pair it with the winter version of

Goldilocks, The Three Snow Bears by Jan

Brett. We hope you enjoy this unit as much

as we do!

even say that she is sorry!!
