ABSTRACT
I began this project as part of an exploration undertaken in a local authority nursery school in an Edinburgh housing estate, with 3- to 5-year-olds. In our setting, we chose a traditional story (Goldilocks and the Three Bears) to read frequently in multiple versions and observed its impact. I made a series of in-depth observations in nursery sessions over a spring term in addition to normal observations made when I was in class.
