Super cute, from the end-papers to the story and down to the details like the framed photo of the pigeon on a table in the dinosaurs' house. I love Mo Willems' books! Great to read out loud with your kids.
This is how I've always thought about the Goldilocks story... plus dinosaurs. Love the morals at the end. Love the pictures. Love Mr. Awesome-Mo Coolness-Willems. My kids liked it, but I loved it. Also, check out the end pages. They had me laughing out loud. Goldilocks and the Three Mile Island. Ha!
Ridiculously hilarious. As much as I love his other stories, I think this is my favorite yet. The way Mo Willems takes the Goldilocks story and turns it on its ear with a wink and a nod to his readers who are familiar with the original version (who CARES if the chocolate pudding is too hot? It's chocolate pudding!) is sheer perfection. Can't wait to receive the library copy I ordered and introduce my students to the dinosaur from Norway.
I want to tell you about this book, but I'd rather you read it yourself. Mo's newest titles will tickle the funny bone of anyone who reads it. I cannot wait to share this book at story time and school visits.

:-P "Papa Dinosaur, Mama Dinosaur, and some other dinosaur who happened to be visiting from Norway." This one's a very Mo Willems twist on the classic tale. Excellent!
