A Compare and Contrast Literacy Unit by
Cutesy Clickables
Goldilocks
and the
Three
Bears
by James Marshall
vs.
The Three
Snow Bears
by Jan Brett
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!

My inference: What is the character like?
I think that Goldilocks is very naughty and disobedient because she disobeys her mom after promising her not to take the
shortcut. Then she goes in a stranger’s house and eats their food, breaks their things, and sleeps in their bed. And she doesn’t
even say that she is sorry!!
