Mo Willems Storytime Shorts Season 1 Episode 13 Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs

Mo Willems Storytime Shorts is a delightful animated show that features classic children's literature as read by beloved children's book author Mo Willems. In season 1 episode 13, viewers are treated to Mo's reading of the popular children's book "Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs" by Mo Willems himself.

The episode begins with Mo introducing the book and giving a brief overview of the story. He explains that the book is a humorous twist on the classic story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, but with a prehistoric twist. Instead of bears, the story features three dinosaurs: Mama Dinosaur, Papa Dinosaur, and some other dinosaur who happens to be visiting.

Mo's storytelling brings the characters to life with his expressive voice and animated facial expressions. As he reads the story, viewers are treated to colorful and detailed illustrations that bring the world of the dinosaurs to life. The setting is a lush prehistoric jungle, and the dinosaurs are depicted as friendly and whimsical creatures rather than massive, roaring beasts.

The story follows the same basic plot as the original Goldilocks and the Three Bears, but with some hilarious twists. The three dinosaurs decide to make three bowls of chocolate pudding, setting them out to cool while they go for a long walk in the hopes of finding a "surprise" for their visitor. Meanwhile, Goldilocks (a curious little girl who happens upon the dinosaurs' house) discovers the unlocked door and decides to investigate.

Goldilocks finds the three bowls of pudding and, not realizing that they belong to the dinosaurs, decides to taste them. Of course, one bowl is too hot, one is too cold, and one is just right (a fun little nod to the original story). As she eats the pudding, she also explores the house and discovers some hilarious surprises, like an oversized light switch and a stairway that leads to nowhere.

Meanwhile, the dinosaurs return home to find that their pudding has been eaten and their house has been ransacked. They become suspicious and start to put the pieces of the puzzle together, and eventually they discover Goldilocks hiding in their closet. The story culminates in a dramatic chase scene through the jungle as the dinosaurs try to catch Goldilocks and bring her to justice.

Throughout the story, Mo's storytelling is punctuated with funny asides and witty comments that are sure to delight children and adults alike. The illustrations are equally entertaining, with lots of little details and Easter eggs hidden throughout the pages.

Overall, "Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs" is a hilarious and entertaining spin on a classic children's story. Mo Willems' storytelling skills are on full display in this episode of Mo Willems Storytime Shorts, and viewers are sure to be enchanted by his witty narration and the colorful world he brings to life.
