Description
A hugely entertaining and riotous re-telling of a classic fairytale from one of the most original and funny voices in children's books today.
Have you ever heard the story of Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs? Yes, you heard right - DINOSAURS. Once upon a time, there were three hungry dinosaurs: Papa Dinosaur, Mama Dinosaur and ... a Dinosaur who happened to be visiting from Norway. Of course. 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.

Reviews
a dark and witty take on a very familiar story -- Julia Eccleshare Lovereadingforkids.co.uk Willems has delivered his very best work so far - this is a tasty treat for kids already fluent with the original, and for any fan of funny, and everybody will want to read it again and again and again. Booklist This is one of those remarkable picture books in which the words and pictures come together perfectly to produce a cumulative effect that is greater than the sum of its parts. Inis
