My absolute favorite illustration in the book is Goldilocks slumped in the third bowl of pudding, but I don't know if it can hope to stand out this year against the work of Klassen and the Steads.

I have been using this for a compare and contrast with a traditional Goldilocks with 2nd graders. Even though I read this with one class before Thanksgiving and then didn't do the Venn diagram until 2 weeks later, it clearly made an impression! They remembered details I had forgotten, even after I had done a half-dozen read-alouds. One 7-year-old started softly giggling at Goldilocks and the Three Clams and then slowly lost all control as we continued through the rest of the rejected titles. This had me at the endapers.

Very fun. My favorite Mo Willems character is Trixie. The Elephant and Piggie books are great too. I generally do not enjoy fractured folktales, but I think this one was great. Very fun.
