This inverts the usual associations by connecting stereotypical wild animals, such as bears, with a domestic life and a stereotypical domestic animal, such as a dog, with a wild life. The Three Bears on the other hand are given many anthropomorphic characteristics by living a domestic life in a house, wearing clothes, and speaking proper English. Goldilocks as a dog is stripped of her once human attributes. The size of the character is exaggerated, and also her boldness makes the character seem much more salient than the three bears. As we can see from the cover, pictured above, Goldilocks is the most notable figure. Palazzo’s version offers a striking twist to the classic tale in that the character of Goldilocks is portrayed by a shaggy, golden dog, instead of a young lady. This 1959 construction of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, retold by Tony Palazzo, deviates widely from the original tale first told by Robert Southey in England in1837. Three brown bears are visible in the background. The illustration on this book cover depicts Goldilocks as a shaggy, golden dog in the foreground.
