Recommended for: Ages 4 to 8, as both a read-aloud for younger children and a read alone for independent readers. Other favorites include: I Broke My Trunk, a 2012 Geisel Honor Book, Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed and His Elephant and Piggie book Waiting Is Not Easy was named a Theodor Seuss Geisel Award Honor Book in 2015. Older kids will relish all of Willems' insinuations and their implications.Īuthor and Illustrator: Mo Willems is the award-winning author and illustrator of numerous children's books, including his Elephant and Piggie beginning reader books. While younger children may not pick up on all of the dinosaurs' conniving, if they are familiar with the traditional tale, they will find the substitution of the dinosaurs for the three bears to be satisfying and funny enough.
Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs is a very funny story. Will Goldilocks escape from the dinosaurs' house in time? Is there a moral of the story? Yes, there are two: one for Goldilocks and one for the dinosaurs. The narrator of the story is quite sarcastic, so readers who are old enough to pick up on sarcasm will really enjoy the story and appreciate its humor.Summary: What happens when Goldilocks barges into the wrong house and Goldilocks and the Three Bears becomes Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs? What are the dinosaurs up to anyway? Why did they leave the house right after making three big bowls of chocolate pudding? Is it true the dinosaurs favorite treats are "DELICIOUS CHOCOLATE-FILLED-LITTLE-GIRL-BONBONS"? Readers who are aware of the traditional story of “Goldilocks and The Three Bears” will find Willems’ take on the story a humorous twist. The lesson for the three dinosaurs is: Make sure to lock the back door. The lesson for Goldilocks is: When you are in the wrong story, leave. The last two pages of the book outline the two lessons/morals of the story. Goldilocks panics and realizes she is not in a bear’s house, but a dinosaur’s house! She manages to run out the back door before the three dinosaurs come rushing through the front door. Suddenly she hears one of the dinosaurs outside of the house talking about a delicious little girl stuffed with chocolate pudding. She eats all of the chocolate pudding (because everyone loves chocolate!) and tries to sit on the chairs and rest in the beds.
Once the three dinosaurs leave their house, Goldilocks comes for a visit and enters the house without a care in the world. Then they “conveniently” decide to go “Someplace Else” just in case a small, delicious, nice girl comes for a visit. The three dinosaurs make chocolate pudding, set up their three chairs, and make their three beds. The story begins with Papa Dinosaur, Mama Dinosaur, and a visiting dinosaur from Norway. In this fairy tale with a twist, readers will laugh as they follow the story of Goldilocks and the three dinosaurs!
