Preview before sharing with young ears

I downloaded this story to share with my 2 year old. I was severely disappointed with the story line, as well as the fact that this book's preview doesn't mention these changes to the traditional text. The witty remarks about Goldilocks and her character may be funny to adult ears. This is not the version I would like my little parrot to be repeating from memory.

A couple of issues for young children

For the most part, it’s well done. However, at one point baby bear exaggerates and says “I’m dying,” which is not a phrase I’m sure I want my four year old to hear and I’m not sure she’ll get the exaggeration since young children are very literal. The story also calls Goldilocks “naughty” and I don’t think it’s appropriate to say that about children. Behaviors can be bad, but placing negative qualitative labels on the person, especially a child, is not good practice. I may return it for those two reasons.
