Summary: My daughter loved the end papers in this book, and of course finding the pigeon and Knuffle Bunny! Three hungry dinosaurs set the stage for a trap for a succulent little girl. Soon Goldilocks comes along and misses all the clues that perhaps it was a trap all along.
Classroom Ideas: Great vocabulary in this book (particular, positioned, varying, succulent, supervised, traipsing....) and a lot of drawing conclusions about what is really going on in the story. Mo Willems has written his own goofy themes, but there are several more that kids could come up with as well.
