This is the review of my 7 year old daughter, Sydney.
Who is in it: The book is about Moldylocks, Princess Pink, a moose and the Three Beards.
Where does it take place: It takes place the Land of Fake-Believe and in the house of the Beards.
What is it about: One night Princess Pink goes to her fridge and heard a bird inside the fridge. She decided to walk through the fridge and she found the world of Fake Believe where she falls on a moose. She than meets Moldylocks and they sneak into the house of the Three Beards.
What I like about the book: This book is a funny version of Goldylocks and the Three Bears. I liked the book so much, I picked it up at the library and finished reading it before I got home!
This is me reading it
The book wasn't too hard to read and there were fun pictures on every page. I REALLY want to read the next one!
DAD'S NOTE
This was a very fun take on a well known fairy tale. It may be a tad easy for the reader going into grade three but I am not complaining because she liked the story so much!

March 9, 2023Without my will, I emerged myself in Moldylocks' world, until the point where we became one and the same...
So, I was exploring the forest and stumbled upon the house of the three beards. I couldn't help but think about Jung's concept of " the shadow ". You see, the three beards represent different aspects of the psyche - the first beard, with his nurturing and caring nature is like the anima, while the second beard, who is gruff and straightforward, represents the animus. But it was the third beard that really intrigued me. He was dark and brooding, and seemed to embody everything that the other two beards were not. It was only later that I realized he was my own personal shadow, the part of me that I was afraid to confront.
So, as I made my way through the forest again, I knew that I had to confront my own shadow if I wanted to truly grow and evolve as an individual.
And who knows, maybe one day, I'II even be able to share a bowl of porridge with those three beards, without eating them all again.

I read this after my son read it and liked it. It was funny and crazy and silly. It had great illustrations. I loved that it dealt with the FACT that feminity is a prison--a prison you feel especially as an 8-12 year old girl, in my opinion. I grew up with girls and their families being so concerned about being a girly girl or a tomboy. And I loved being "girly", but wanted the respect of being a Tom Boy.
I love that she doesn't like pink-ish things, but the reason is well fleshed out. The feminity she is subjected to is highly prescribed by her parents who finally got a girl after 7 boys. It takes up two pages, but there was so much there. They named her princess, they bought her a fairy costume. They had plans for her to be a certain way the day she was born. On the other hand, she has seven brothers
That's seven kids who are allowed to be different from each other and defineasculinity differently.
In the land of Fake Believe she gets to define herself and be brave and play cowboy caveman without her parents rolling their eyes. I also didn't pick up on any casual misogyny, which sometimes comes up with these characters.
Anyway, I really enjoyed Princess Pink and how sterotype-defying she is and I love that my son got to read a story like this too.❤️

I adore fractured fairy tales, I love books that make kids (and me!) laugh, and I am absolutely obsessed with books that feel like chapter books but are actually just like a picture book put into the chapter book format so my reluctant and struggling readers don't have to look like they are carrying around "baby books."
Essentially all of the things I like about this book are NOTHING to do with the ridiculous and (I really never call books this, but this one deserves it) stupid story. Fine, if kids will read it I will put it into my classroom library. But anyone could have written this book. Strange and stupid. Yes, I said it again.
At least the illustrations are bright and colorful, and the illustrator gets a bonus star for illustrating the adorable picture book Not Norman, one of my absolute faves. :)

Moldylocks and the Three Beards is a zany take on a classic fairytale, one that had my daughter, a 6 year old reluctant reader, and I laughing together as we shared it before bed. While I understand that most adults will be critical of this completely silly tale, I will forever remember that my daughter wanted to read all of Princess Pink's speech bubbles herself! That, to me, is priceless. And the colorful illustrations are fantastic in this transitional reader.

In my opinion I think this book is amazing
April 7, 2025
A very clever and fun alternate take on fairy tales/folk tales. Nice bits of humor and Princess Pink is a resourceful, determined heroine.

The kids got an absolute kick out of this one.

Me niece challenged me to read some of the books she’s into. While there are many in a series I’ll only post the first one.
These are great early readers. They are funny and the pictures are great. I get why Haddi is interested.

The wacky land of Fake Believe, August 12, 2017
This review is from: Moldylocks and the Three Beards: A Branches Book (Princess Pink and the Land of Fake-Believe #1) (Kindle Edition)
Reviews should be read carefully before deciding on a purchase. One review for this book speaks of it confusing a six year old. Another review states that an entire class found the book to be too ridiculous and that it was "like a story from a 2nd grader who really has nothing to write about so they just keep writing nonsense and it continues on and on and on." So there you have it - too difficult and too simple. Lets hear what a child has to say:
Review by Catherine, grade three. I think that this book is amazing. It is sort of a mixed up fairy tale land. Mother Moose instead of Mother Goose. It is not confusing to me or others in my class who read it. My favorite character is Mouldy Locks. This book is written for young readers.

What do you do when you’re hungry late at night? You go to the fridge, of course! What do you do when your fridge has been turned into a portal to The Land of Fake-Believe? You lean in to look and fall in, of course! Princess Pink just wanted a snack when she lands in The Land of Fake-Believe. Luckily, Moldylocks sees her fall from the sky and knows where they can grab a bite to eat. Off they go to the three beards house where they find chili that is too cold, too hot, and just right...but contains a spider! Hilarity ensues until the beards get home! Will Moldylocks and Princess Pink make it out alive? You’ll have to read to find out!
This is a WOW book for me due to the references to my childhood fairytales and the way the author uses rhyming words throughout the text. I love hearing Goldilocks and the Three Bears in a new light with a new character and think students now will really enjoy the humor brought to the story by Princess Pink and all of the shenanigans in The Land of Fake-Believe. I think the rhyming words in the story will really help children to expand their knowledge of phonics and being able to read words through analogy. Additionally, I think it will help students to see how paying attention while reading is so important since one or two letters can completely change the meaning of a word.
I would use this folklore book in a K-2 classroom to work on comparing and contrasting different stories. It would make a wonderful and hilarious addition to a Goldilocks and the Three Bears text set. I would also use it to help students develop their phonological awareness and phonics skills through having students discuss the rhyming words in the text, come up with their own, and sort the words by pattern. Lastly, I would use this book as a mentor text for writing to show students how narrative and graphic writing can be combined to produce a compelling story. I would then have the students create their own Goldilocks and the Three Bears style writing.

Review:
I love the silliness of this book as well as the great illustrations. I think the colorful illustrations and the use of speech bubbles mixed with text is a great combination to keep the reader interested. The ideas of friendship, imagination and sacrifice for a friend throughout the book are shown very well throughout the book extremely well. I loved the part of the book where Princess Pink wears her giant beard in the land of fake believe because it shows just how willing she is to help out her new friend. Overall i do recommend this book and I rate it a 4/5 stars!

My daughter and I spotted this at the library and instantly added it to our book stack. We are huge fans of all of the early chapter books in the Scholastic branches line. This fairytale retelling is incredibly imaginative and was a quick, fun read aloud.
Young readers will definitely laugh out loud as they discover the play on words from the original tale that they are familiar with. These slight changes make for a really silly story. My daughter loved the tunacorn as well and still brings that up days later. As a mom, I loved seeing a character who didn’t adhere to the stereotypical girly interest.
Every page of this book includes vivid illustrations that helped bring this fast paced story to life. They were just plain fun to look at. We also enjoyed the alternating speech bubbles. My daughter took to reading those, while I read the text. The book concludes with a page of topics to discuss. It was a great way to compare the similarities and differences between the two tales.
Overall, it’s an entertaining story and a wonderful way to introduce the idea of creative retellings to kids. This is book #1 in the Princess Pink and the Land of Fake-Believe series. We look forward to reading the next three books: Little Red Quacking Hood, The Three Little Pugs and Jack and the Snackstalk.

My rating for this one would be 3 stars, but my kids loved it and would probably give it 5 stars so I'm averaging it out. I love fairy tale retellings, but this one didn't seem to bring anything too special to the table and I found the plot kind of random and odd.
I was reading it aloud to my 4 year old and my 2 year old sat down to read along with us as well. We read the entire thing in one sitting and then they wanted to read it over again right away. And my daughter carried the book around with her for days and kept flipping through the pages.
What I do love about the book though is the format. There are full color illustrations on every page and short chapters. It's the perfect bridge from picture books to chapter books and would be ideal for newly independent readers.

If you enjoy fractured fairy-tales or exaggerated elements, you will love Moldylocks and the Three Beards, the first installment in Princess Pink and the Land of Fake Beleive. Princess Pink (who hates PINK and acts nothing at all like a princess) wakes for a mid-night snack and falls into a fantasy world where things are very different from what you might imagine in a fairytale. Princess Pink befriends Moldylocks, a girl who looks like lives in a swamp, and they go on an adventure. But can Princess Pink get back home?

As delightfully weird as it looks. A fun early chapter book with entertaining full-color illustrations.
Princess Pink is not a princess and she does not like pink. One night, when she opens her fridge for a late-night snack, she discovers the Land of Fake-Believe. There, she meets Moldylocks and the two new friends venture to the home of the Three Beards.
This fast-paced story adds a creative spin to the tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Fun artwork. Odd and humorous.
Definitely a strange one, but entertaining and engaging.

Moldylocks and the Three Beards is a 2018 Monarch Award Nominee. This hybrid, graphic novel is a spin-off of the traditional fairy tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. This story follows a similar story line with a modern flair. It's a great story for readers who want to venture into the world of chapter books. The illustrations hold the readers attention. The text on each page usually includes a small paragraph and speech bubbles. The format and story-line make this a great book for 1st and 2nd grade readers!

A fractured fairy tale that is presented in a colorful, graphic novel(?) format. Who knew that a craving for a midnight snack could drop you in the Land of Fake-Believe. (Thank goodness for the moose!) Princess Pink is adventurous, friendly and very resourceful. I hope that these type of adventures revive an interest in fairy tales in the way Rick Riordan stories sparked interest in Greek mythology.

My 5 and 7 year old loves this series. I'm just happy to find something to get the 7 year old to read! Fractured fairy tale about a girl named princess pink who hates anything "girly". I don't think we need to indoctrinate girls against girly stuff, but instead give them a huge variety of good female role-models to help them find their way. But this was light-hearted so I'm not too worried about it. Overall, a cute story.

Princess Pink is neither a princess nor does she like the color pink. But she falls into her refrigerator one night, looking for a midnight snack, and falls into the Land of Fake Believe. There she meets Moldylocks, who takes her to the house of the Three Beards. The girls jump on beds and eat all the chili! What will happen when the Three Beards come home?
This is in the Branches series of beginner chapter books. My four year old really loves this as a read aloud because it’s a twist on a story he already knows. This is a lot of fun, and I’d definitely recommend this series!

A quirky, fractured fairy tale chapter book that combines traits of Alice in Wonderland and Goldilocks and the Three Bears stories. The text is a mix of dialogue bubbles and sentences. The illustrations are colorful and bright though they take up most of the page. This would work for students who are looking for humorous stories and may still be intimidated by the page count.

This was recommended to me by a first grade patron who regularly visits my library and loves to read. I was impressed by his recommendation. Moldylocks and the Three Beards is a funny fractured fairy tale that is great for transitional readers and reluctant readers. The writing is simple and the illustrations are fun and colorful.

Fun start to a story! This is great for younger kids that are maybe interested in Sarah Mlynowski's retelling series. It is also great for those looking to get into graphic novels, as it is a hybrid. I enjoyed the illustrations and colors. Monarch 2018 Nominee. Also read for grad school class Comics: Advising Readers.

The perfect tale for tomboys everywhere. Princess pink isn't the type for dresses and dolls. She likes to wear pants, get dirty, and be one of the boys. When. She goes looking for a late night snack in the fridge she discovers a universe where everything is turned upside down. Welcome to Fake believe.

While I didn’t like this adaptation of Goldilocks and the Three Bears (I’m all about fairytale retelling a usually) my 6 year old did and since he is the target audience I guess that’s a good thing.
The reading level is a little harder than the other Branches books of the same reading Level but he was able to get by just fine with a little help here and there.

Partner read with my 7 year old. My son turned his nose up at this book at first quick glance. “But Moooooommmmm, I don’t wanna read a book about a princess!!!” He quickly changed his tune after reading the subtitle: “Moldylocks and the Three Beards.” It was all giggles from that moment on and he is excited to read the rest of the series on his own.

My kids (8, 7, and 4) loved this one and wanted me to read it to them in one sitting. They can't wait for book two.
For me, it was an okay read aloud. I didn't hate it, but I also didn't love it. It was a little too bizarre and random for my taste. It was fairly short, as a read aloud, which helped with the boredom factor.

Cute for the princess who didn't quite fit the mold
This was a fun read with cute and colorful pictures and the silly world of Fake Believe. Everything is just a little off, my favorite being the tunacorn :)
