Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs

Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs As Retold by Mo Willems

Summary: This is a fracture of the classic story The Three Little Bears, told with three dinosaurs and little Goldilocks, who looks very similar to Trixie in Willems hit Knuffle Bunny.

My Thoughts: This is a fun story that will appeal to readers of many ages, from the young reader who knows the story The Three Little Bears to the adult who will get the subtle humor in the story and the illustrations.  Goldilocks stumbles upon the home of the three dinosuars, one of which is visiting from Norway.  The dinosaurs have been expecting her and are eager to enjoy some chocolate-filled-little-girl-bonbons!
