A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

“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))

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

“There’s a trifecta of reading possibilities here: an energetic storytime, a read-alone, and a raucous readers’ theater.” (Horn Book (starred review))

“A new offering of guaranteed laughs from three-time Caldecott-honoree Willems....Pure glee.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Kids will clamor for a re-viewing and be pleased to note that the book cleverly sets itself up for the story going either way. This is also a delight to voice, with the goslings particularly enjoyable to act out.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)

Praise for GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE DINOSAURS: “Willems has delivered his very best work so far-this is a tasty treat for kids already fluent with the original, and for any fan of funny, and everybody will want to read it again and again and again.” (Booklist (starred review))

Praise for GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE DINOSAURS: “With a sense of irony (and humor) as sharp as this dinosaur trio’s talons, Willems’s retelling is a sure bet for audiences who have moved beyond more gently witty fare.” (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: “Amusing and heartwarming, it will leave Willems’s fans totally satisfied.” (School Library Journal (starred review))
