A familiar fairy tale with dinosaurs

Mo Willems recasts the Goldilocks story with three dinosaurs, including a visitor from Norway, and a house prepared with beds and pudding in several temperatures. The setup echoes the classic tale while changing its bears for hungry dinosaurs—and makes the characters’ stated intentions part of the joke. At 40 pages, this is a picture-book adaptation built around a recognizable fairy-tale framework and comic twists on its familiar elements.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in fairy-tale retellings
  • Families seeking a humorous picture book featuring dinosaurs
  • Readers familiar with Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Book overview

Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs is a new take on the fairy-tale classic Goldilocks and the Three Bears, so funny and so original--it could only come from the brilliant mind of Mo Willems, the author/illustrator of Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and the Elephant and Piggie series.

Once upon a time, there were three hungry Dinosaurs: Papa Dinosaur, Mama Dinosaur . . . and a Dinosaur who happened to be visiting from Norway.

One day--for no particular reason--they decided to tidy up their house, make the beds, and prepare pudding of varying temperatures. And then--for no particular reason--they decided to go . . . someplace else. They were definitely not setting a trap for some succulent, unsupervised little girl.

Definitely not!

This hilarious story is perfect for fans of the Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.
