PM Turquoise: Goldilocks and the Three Bears (PM Traditional Tales and Plays) Levels 17, 18

Scandinavia, where bears still live in the mountains, was chosen as the setting for this story. The turf-roofed house, the furniture, fabrics and clothes were all inspired by Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish designs. Robert Southey’s famous English version (in which the bears’ visitor was an old woman) was written in 1837, and based on oral tradition. Set in Scandinavia, circa 1700-1800.

Turquoise level titles develop children’s understanding of topics with clusters of books on related subjects. High-interest themes such as danger, courage, kindness, bullying and anger are introduced.

Available for Levels 15–24, *PM Traditional Tales and Plays* retell classic tales in a simplified language and form that children can understand. Teachers use the tales in guided reading sessions and children can later read them with confidence and understanding. Parts are colour-coded for easy recognition.
