For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleThe story of Goldilocks has been told time and time and time and time again. Each one has it's own special twist, but honestly this is the best one I have ever read.It is hilarious. Characteristically humorous for Willems, this is a wonderfully enterta...

If I ever win the lottery, you can bet that my home library will be stocked with every single Willems book. Another amusing retelling with a twist.

Fun, silly twist on the fairy tale.
At this point, I think I'm just dazzled by Mr. Willems, himself. It seems I just love everything he does, no matter what. I want to read this book aloud to someone, complete with snarky attitude and voice.

I would love to see someone read this one aloud to little ones. My favorite line is, "The bears that liv...
