Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs

 Picture book by Mo Willems.

This retelling is firmly tongue in cheek, with several hilarious surprises! Very enjoyable, with a surprisingly good moral of the story: If you ever find yourself in the wrong story, leave!

Young Woman and the Sea

 This movie depicts the true story of Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel and beat the men’s record in the process.

Tress of the Emerald Sea

 Book by Brandon Sanderson  This was an utterly charming fantasy/adventure that reminded me a lot of The Princess Bride. I plowed through the audiobook in just two days, listening every chance I could! My only complaint is that I wish it were slightly more standalone, rather than assuming the reader is already familiar with Hoid. However, even without that background knowledge, I believe the book would have widespread appeal. Recommended Age 13+

Fun for a family car trip.
