Willems even includes a moral for Goldilocks, and one for Dinosaurs, both equally amusing. ISBN 9780062104182. The look on her face upon devouring three giant bowls of pudding is priceless. SUMMARY In a hilarious take on Goldilocks and the Three Bears, three dinosaurs set a trap for an unsuspecting little girl, who blithely walks right into it. The dinosaurs’ intentions are made clear in lines such as, “The three Dinosaurs went Someplace Else and were definitely not hiding in the woods waiting for an unsuspecting kid to come by,” and in details from the illustration such as signs in the forest that read “.2 miles to trap very nice house” and “getting closer.” Willems goes to great lengths to describe, tongue-in-cheek, what is most definitely not happening, like the sound of a dinosaur yelling “THE TRAP IS NOT YET SPRUNG!” which, really, was probably just a falling rock. But before they leave, they meticulously make their beds, fix their chairs and leave delicious bowls of chocolate pudding (of various temperatures) on the table....for no reason (wink, wink).
