Publisher Description
Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs is a new take on the fairy-tale classic Goldilocks and the Three Bears, so funny and so original—it could only come from the brilliant mind of Mo Willems, the author/illustrator of Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and the Elephant and Piggie series.
Once upon a time, there were three hungry Dinosaurs: Papa Dinosaur, Mama Dinosaur . . . and a Dinosaur who happened to be visiting from Norway.One day—for no particular reason—they decided to tidy up their house, make the beds, and prepare pudding of varying temperatures. And then—for no particular reason—they decided to go . . . someplace else. They were definitely not setting a trap for some succulent, unsupervised little girl.Definitely not!Download and start listening now!
“Mo Willems puts his characteristic droll twist on an old favorite…Goldilocks marches cheerfully past warning signs little listeners will enjoy spotting. Though some of Willems’ sarcastic humor may zip over the heads of young listeners, his over-the-top energy as a narrator delivers plenty of other entertainment. He thunders out his dino-voices and squeaks his Goldilocks, all with funny sound effects playing in the background. There will be plenty of new jokes and quips to catch on the second or third time through, and Willems’ tongue-in-cheek superdramatic narration will clue listeners in to be on the lookout for them.”

“Willems has delivered his very best work so far—this is a tasty treat for kids already fluent with the original, and for any fan of funny, and everybody will want to read it again and again and again.”
— Booklist (starred review) -
“This is pure Mo Willems…Readers of all ages will find much to chuckle about in this wacky retelling.”
— School Library Journal (starred review) -
“On every page, the text winks broadly at readers, first pointing to and then playing with conventions of folklore, narrative voice, literary foreshadowing, and plain old common sense.”
— Horn Book (starred review) -

— Kirkus Reviews
