Pre-reading activity: Have you ever been curious as to what is behind a closed door? What if you found an open door? Would you go in? Think about one reason why you might want to see what is behind a closed door. 

Post reading activity: Read Goldilocks and the Three Bears and compare and contrast the two stories.

I liked this book, however it was very similar to Goldilocks and the Three Bears and I would have liked it to be more original.
