And while on the one hand, she appears to have very little sense (just how much chocolate pudding should one girl eat?), eventually she does discover that she isn’t in the safest of places and that she had better escape and quick. 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. I am sure these are fun to watch AFTER you have read the books a few times.Our latest BLG book brought in by Deborah was Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs by Mo Willems. One of the Teaching Heart Facebook Fans just told me about the DVD’s Below… I haven’t seen them yet but I am a huge fan of the Scholastic Storybook DVD’s in general. Mommy and Me Book Club shares this cute Pigeon Handprint craftt. Mo Willem’s is such an awesome Children’s author and is quickly becoming a favorite in my home and in many classrooms.ĭon’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus Lesson and craft.įree Comic Strip Printable to Match Elephant and Piggie Books.Ĭheck out the cute puppets from ~ Adventures in Tutoring & Special Education ~ This is definitely on a must have for read aloud time. My 9 year old got the humor and enjoyed the story very much. It would be fun to compare and contrast the original story to Mo’s story. Some of the humor will not be gotten by the Prek-1 st crowd, but if they don’t get it, you will get it and enjoy it! The kiddos love the story and the illustrations. Do they succeed or is Goldilocks smart enough to figure out their plan? You will enjoy reading this story to find out! The Dinosaurs in the story (Momma, Papa, and “some other dinosaur visiting from Norway”) must have read the original Goldilocks story and were hoping to set up their home in hopes of enjoying a little blonde girl for a “succulent” treat. Mo has an entirely different version involving three tricky (so they think) Dinosaurs. It’s a spoof on the Goldilocks and the Three Bears Tale. However, my daughter (age 6), son (age 9), and myself (age 37?) loved the book! It still screams Mo, with the humor and illustrations. So you are in for a little change if you were expecting something similar to some of his other stories… This story does not include talking bubbles. However, if you look closely at the illustrations you may see Pigeon on at least three pages (go ahead, play I Spy)… Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs text are also much different than Mo Willems’ usual text. Instead a little toe-head and three dinosaurs are the stars. It does not involve his usual cast of characters (pig, elephant, or pigeon). Recently, Mo Willems released a new book – Goldilocks and the Three Dinoasaurs. It happens to be a Mo Williems book as well!!! I Broke My Trunk!!! It’s so cute – click her to Learn more about I Broke My Trunk. Below you can see her latest library selection on top of the book I want to tell you about today. My daughter is a big Mo Willems fan! I too have to say I am loving how this author writes books that my first grader loves to read on her own.
