So cute and interactive

I wasn't expecting how much fun this book would be. It comes with various little envelopes of little activities like a puzzle or a letter to read or a little book. Super cute story, too, my kids love it!

Not exactly the same as original

This was one of my favorite stories as a kid, because there’s letters you can pull out and read. It seems the newer copies they’ve changed the letter from Goldilocks to the three bears. It has a joke written and it used to say “be quiet” but now says “shut up.” Not a big deal to many people, but reading this to a young child personally I didn’t feel comfortable having them going around saying shut up to people and thinking it’s a funny joke thing to say, especially at toddler age. So I ended up returning these (had bought two to give as a gift). Disappointed in the edit change, love the book and concept and wish they kept it as the original copy!

It's a fun interactive kids book with letters in envelopes on every page. My daughter loved it when she was little, now it's for my grandkids.
