This girl who never listens to warnings about entering strange enormous houses, steps over the giant welcome mat and is entranced by the smell of chocolate pudding. " GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE DINOSAURS ," retold and illustrated by Mo Willems, Balzer + Bray, $17.99 (ages 3-7)Īny preconceived notions about the traditional “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” should be abandoned before reading Mo Willems’ “Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs.” Instead of the familiar bears that leave the house absentmindedly while their porridge cools, Papa Dinosaur, Mama Dinosaur and “some other Dinosaur who happened to be visiting from Norway” make chocolate pudding in varying temperatures.Īs they leave the house for “someplace else,” the plot thickens with a mocking voice, “I sure hope no innocent little succulent child happens by our unlocked home while we are … uhhh … someplace else.” ![]()
