"A new offering of guaranteed laughs from three-time Caldecott-honoree Willems....Pure glee."--Kirkus Reviews

"Trust Willems to blend silents, animation, and comics for a wickedly droll poultry-in-peril yarn."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Praise for GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE DINOSAURS: "This is pure Mo Willems, from the many visual gags in the cleanly drawn illustrations and the tight, tongue-in-cheek story line to the endpapers .... Readers of all ages will find much to chuckle about in this wacky retelling."--School Library Journal (starred review)

Praise for GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE DINOSAURS: "On every page, the text winks broadly at readers, first pointing to and then playing with conventions of folklore, narrative voice, literary foreshadowing, and plain old common sense."--Horn Book (starred review)

Praise for HOORAY FOR AMANDA AND HER ALLIGATOR: "The pacing, word volume and wide trim size are all inviting and encouraging, bringing readers close to the cozy friendship between Amanda and her impatient stuffed friend. "--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"This charmer is lovingly composed as an homage to silent movies and the concept of picture books as the 'theater of the lap.' Children and adults will relish being taken for such a thrilling, suspenseful ride again and again."--School Library Journal (starred review)

Praise for HOORAY FOR AMANDA AND HER ALLIGATOR: "Amusing and heartwarming, it will leave Willems's fans totally satisfied."--School Library Journal (starred review)

Praise for HOORAY FOR AMANDA AND HER ALLIGATOR: "Six and a half short stories make up this expertly paced page-turner about a girl and her toy alligator, laced with the kid-centric humor on which Willems has built his career. "--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
