This Goldilocks is a little bit more than presumptuous. In his version, it is three scheming dinosaurs who leave their home to go “someplace else.” (Note to readers – you might think you see dinosaurs hiding in the woods spying on Goldi but that would just be your imagination). Willems brings a new twist to an old tale putting his humorous and silly stamp on the Goldilocks story. The magic of Mo Willems descended (“ That’s a sneaky one,” muttered one little guy) and nobody dared look away for fear of missing a hidden pigeon on a subsequent page. When someone spotted a pigeon in the cookie jar in the second full page spread, well. In fact upon realizing that this book was a Willems book, a definite hush fell over the room.

Well, to say that we are Mo Willems fans in our classroom is a bit of an understatement.

Our latest BLG book brought in by Deborah was Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs by Mo Willems.
