Browne's books are translated into 26 languages and his illustrations have been exhibited in many countries including; The United States, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, France, Korea, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, and Taiwan. He currently lives in Canterbury, England. Although, the story is simple with a basic language, it gave a great variety of opportunities that allowed the children to explore a great deal with this book. Firstly the children used a range of similes and adjectives as well as metaphors and body language to retell parts of the story. There were so many shadows lurking around in the forest, if observed carefully you can see the three little bears lurking around in the shadows as the girl with the golden hair walks away. There was a cave behind the trees where it you can also see a small figure as he met a boy and a girl along his journey, as well as a man on a horse in shadows. The children got to explore these and create their own short stories based on these hidden characters in the book.

You would need to be sensitive to children who might not have secure family relationships, might have lost a grandparent to illness or have an absent parent, some young children might also be a little afraid of the forest and what lurks in it – however none of these things would be concerning if it were managed well.
