Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs sounds interesting to me because you write that it has a humor that would appeal to older children. As a former teacher, I always felt like the selections in students' reading textbooks had no humor. Students were so rarely exposed to humor in writing that when they did read it they didn't pick up on it. I felt like they were really missing out on an incredible aspect of reading.

But until recently I got the vast majority of books by putting them on hold (and still get a lot of them that way). And one of the reasons was the awful selections my kids would make (based mainly on things like spine color).

I made a sort of DIY version for my 2-year-old last Halloween using felt black dots glue gunned onto a red shirt and dollar store red fairy wings.
