This new take on a fairy-tale classic is so funny and so original-it could only come from the brilliant mind of Mo Willems. They were definitely NOT setting a trap for some succulent, unsupervised little girl. And then- for no particular reason -they decided to go.someplace else. One day- for no particular reason -they decided to tidy up their house, make the beds, and prepare pudding of varying temperatures. and a Dinosaur who happened to be visiting from Norway. I'm Queer.Once upon a time, there were three hungry Dinosaurs: Papa Dinosaur, Mama Dinosaur.

The illustrations are classic Willems as well. It’s a delight to read aloud, because as always Willem’s books have the perfect pacing for sharing. Thanks to the tone, children will immediately understand that something is afoot, though the book is insisting that nothing at all is wrong. It’s the narrator explaining what is happening by using a sarcastic tone and explaining what is not happening. The tone of this book is really what makes it work so very well. Even Goldilocks, who never notices anything, starts to realize that something odd is going on in her story, but not before the trap is sprung! All of those noises in the woods are also not dinosaurs arguing about when to pounce, they are the wind. The ladder to help her reach the pudding is not part of the trap either.
And those three huge bowls of chocolate pudding are just a coincidence, as well as the open front door. But there’s another really big difference, the three dinosaurs are most certainly NOT setting a trap for Goldilocks. Think of chocolate-stuffed little girl bonbons sort of treat! Here the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears is changed so that you have three dinosaurs instead. Willems never seems to miss with his books and this one is a real treat.
