Goldy Luck and the Three Pandas: Book Chat with a FREEBIE


     I am linking up with the fabulous Deanna Jump for her Tuesday Book Chat. You can check out all of the book recommendations {HERE}. Today, I would like to introduce you to one of my new favorite books: Goldy Luck and the Three Pandas by Natasha Yim and Grace Zong. I love this book for a few simple reasons.
  1. Pandas rule! I have a lifelong love of pandas! They are so stinkin' cute!
  2. It is a fractured fairy tale. Kids LOVE to read or hear books that are twist on a familiar tale.
  3. The illustrations are vibrant and engaging.
  4. Kids will be introduced to rich vocabulary relating to the Chinese culture and customs. 
  5. Goldy Luck makes mistakes, but she also learns to take responsibility for her actions. 


Here is a quick peek inside this fantastic book! Keep scrolling for your freebie and other related recommendations!


What's a book recommendation without a FREEBIE to go with it, right?  Click {HERE} to snag your double bubble map with optional cut and paste clues. 

If you are looking for other books to carry on with a Goldilocks theme, I also highly recommend these two titles! They have always been a big hit in my classroom!




I did a Common Core aligned book study for The Three Snow Bears by Jan Brett. You can check it out in my store {HERE} or by clicking on the image below. 

Have fun perusing all of the awesome book recommendations on Deanna Jump's blog. I hope to be back next week with another favorite and freebie for you!

      You are so welcome! Thanks for your kind comments! I named the blog after my habit of calling my students cutesy names like chickabiddies, doodlebops, and snickerdoodles.

    I'm always looking for new versions of fairy tales. For our fairy tale unit, the kids rewrite their own versions of Goldilocks or Little Red Riding Hood so this will be a great addition to our introduction. Thanks,

      Thanks, Heather! I am glad that this book will be useful to you! I love teaching fairy tales. Every year I am stunned by how many children have never heard the classics. It makes me sad! So, thanks for doing your part to keep fairy tales alive!
