Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs
Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs | Mo Willems
16 posts | 21 read | 5 to read
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, purely on a whim, they decided to tidy up their house nice and neat, make their beds up all cosy and comfortable, prepare delicious hot chocolate pudding of varying temperatures, place their chairs just so, and go someplace else. Let's be clear, they were definitely not setting up a trap for some succulent, poorly supervised little girl called Goldilocks who may wander by - ahem.

Reading this before I put it out in the LFL - I am laughing so hard at the picture of The Pigeon. 😂

#lae3414sp19 This TL written and illustrated by Mo Willems is a hilarious new take on a classic story. I couldn‘t help but laugh out loud when I read this book! This would make for a great storytelling! I‘m already laughing just thinking about one of my teachers portraying the suspicious laughter of the dinosaurs in the book.

mluter I love this lesson plan on using pudding to do a sensory retelling activity! https://growingbookbybook.com/goldilocks-and-the-three-dinosaurs/ UDL 4.1 and 1.1 because students are physically drawing and answering comprehension questions. ESOL strategy 46 because this is a hands on activity. 6y
JessicaRosell This book looks super cute and I always to to do hands on activities that involve food! Thanks for sharing! 6y
WoodsKatie I did a different three little pigs twist but I love this one! It sounds so interesting and has such a great twist. I think that‘s my favorite part about TL is being able to twist it just a little bit but it makes it all new! Great post! 6y
DrSpalding A sensory retelling and hands-on activities… Sounds wonderful. Use great books to inspire young readers. 6y

Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs is a new take on the fairy-tale classic Goldilocks and the Three Bears, so funny and so original. This TL could be used as a DR and would be so fun! UDL 1.1 is a great way to customize the display of this text. ESOL 14 could be used if students seem to get flustered by pace. https://growingbookbybook.com/goldilocks-and-the-three-dinosaurs/ is a great activity to use. #LAE3414sp19

mluter I read this book too! Such a funny retelling of a classic! 6y
DrSpalding Be sure to concisely and thoroughly explain the book. I agree this would be a fun dramatic reenactment or even storytelling. 6y

I love this part!
“If you ever find yourself in the wrong story, leave.”
Such a cute twist the author threw in to his new crazy story!

I love that the author incorporates things from his previous books!! The Pigeon from the pigeon drives the bus is featured on a few pages in this story!

Published in 2012 this modern fantasy book takes a new direction when a traditional story is thrown into a new story! When comparing this authors story to another story he has written, I notice the illustrations to be very similar and also very fun! In today‘s society, the fantasy elements of having dinosaurs living in a house was such a fun twist to the story! The author was also very clever in pointing out morals in the plot!

Clever, but this one felt a little forced. Mo Willems is funny, but this one felt like he was just winking at his audience a bit too much. Most of the other reviews vehemently disagree with me, but in my opinion, it‘s not his best.

JenP @Cinfhen it's really funny 8y
saresmoore I have no idea how I haven't read this one yet! Thanks for the Mo heads up! 8y
JenP @saresmoore it's one of those books that has lots of jokes for parents that kids may miss (a fossil fuel poster in the background, etc). So good! 8y
bernadette My family loves this one. So funny for adults and kids. Great pick! 8y
britt_brooke Fun! 8y

Never before have I found such an accurate representation of myself in children's literature.

The joke-density of this particular children's book comes in on the level of Neutron Star; which is to say, the visual and written gags contained herein make it almost impossible for any grown up to read out loud without collapsing into a pile of giggles and snorts. Oh, and little kids will like it too. Because dinosaurs.
