claudiaswisher 's review for:
Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs
by Mo Willems
I love the sly, subversive humor in children's books. Willems' books are checked out a lot in the library I volunteer in. Now I know why. Before you even get to the title page, you see the end papers...many offbeat combinations have been written and 'x-ed' out...G and the three Cyclops, the 3 Penguins...the three...you get the idea.
So here are the three dinosaurs...Papa and Mama, and 'some other dinosaur who happened to be visiting from Norway." What? His suitcase, and his bet have a Norwegian flag decal...
So, instead of porridge, they cook a huge vat of chocolate pudding...hmmm. Something's up here. When they leave, they loudly proclaim their intentions to be gone, not looking for little girls, not locking the door...
But then they hide. These dinosaurs have a plan. Their favorite treats are 'chocolate-filled little girl bon-bons!!" Beware, Goldilocks!! You are in danger!!
Funny, irreverant. With a moral to little girls who enter homes uninvited and for dinosaurs who are trying to trap chocolate-filled little girl bon-bons.
