Common misconception
Children may have questions around who the 'good' vs 'evil' characters are.
Goldilocks is the one who breaks into the bears' home and uses their things, therefore she would be considered the 'evil' character. However, ask/discuss whether her behaviour actually constitutes 'evil' and what her motivations might have been.
