GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE DINOSAURS

Mo Willems puts his characteristic droll twist on an old favorite. Here Goldilocks isn't trespassing on the home of bears but on dinosaurs--who may have dining plans of their own. "Poorly supervised" and possibly "succulent" Goldilocks marches cheerfully past warning signs little listeners will enjoy spotting. Though some of Willems's sarcastic humor may zip over the heads of young listeners, his over-the-top energy as a narrator delivers plenty of other entertainment. He thunders out his dino-voices and squeaks his Goldilocks, all with funny sound effects playing in the background. There will be plenty of new jokes and quips to catch on the second or third time through, and Willems's tongue-in-cheek super-dramatic narration will clue listeners in to be on the lookout for them.
