Goldilocks and the Three Hares || A Book Review
I read it for the first time today, and I fell in love with it...so let me tell you a few of my favorite things about it:
- The author used every bit of the book--Front cover, back cover, and every single page that's in between. (you know how a lot of books have a few blank pages in the fronts and the backs of books? Ms. Petach just doesn't do that! And you know how a lot of books have the title page on the cover and at least once more on the first page of the book? She does this in such a hilarious way...but I'll leave that for you to read ☺)
- This book was SO FUNNY (at least to me...one of my older sisters didn't like it very much; however, one of my younger sisters did *shrug*) The author placed many, many puns in the book and wrote the book in such an artful way, utilizing the habits and conversations a hare family or mouse family might have in day-to-day life. This was delightful to read!
- This was a rather redemptive book for Miss Goldi, now that I think about it...but again I won't spoil it for you!!
A few of my favorite characters:
- Mother Hare--By the end of the book, it's assumed she burns meals regularly, which adds to the humor of the plot.
- Grandpa Mouse--He's rather hard of hearing, which just adds to the puns the author can weave into the book.
- The two weasels--their names & their ends...oh, you have to read it...
I think what I enjoyed the most was the plot twist on the workaday childhood story. This was aided greatly by all of the things I mentioned above, as well as many other things in the book.
My rating:
