Roaring with Laughter: A Look at ‘Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs’

Remember the classic tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears? Well, get ready for a hilarious twist with Mo Willems' 'Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs'! This isn't your grandma's fairytale – it's a side-splitting adventure that will have kids and adults alike roaring with laughter.

Dinosaurs and Pudding...What Could Go Wrong?

Willems cleverly reimagines the familiar story, replacing the bears with a trio of mischievous dinosaurs. Papa Dinosaur, Mama Dinosaur, and a visiting dinosaur from Norway (who apparently has quite the laugh!) decide to whip up some delicious chocolate pudding. But these aren't your average chefs – they're up to something!

Leaving their house suspiciously tidy, the dinosaurs head out to...well, that's a secret! But let's just say they're hoping a certain someone stumbles upon their delicious, unattended pudding.

Goldilocks, You Know Better!

Enter Goldilocks, a girl known for her adventurous spirit and tendency to, shall we say, bend the rules. Despite warnings (and some very suspicious noises), she can't resist the allure of a giant, empty house.

Of course, she finds the pudding, and just like in the original tale, she can't resist trying it all! But will she discover the dinosaurs' not-so-hidden plan before it's too late?
