Dear Reader:
Here they go again. The two characters created by Mo Willems—Elephant and Piggie—are back for more exciting adventures.
At least, Mo thinks they’re exciting.
Okay, fine. The books are sort of hilarious, and charming (I suppose), and they speak directly to kids. Piggie is an optimistic pig, and Elephant (otherwise known as Gerald) is a cautious, pessimistic elephant.
Sure, go ahead. Like them. Love them! But whatever you do, please—don’t let them drive the bus!
Sincerely, Pigeon
Gerald and Piggie are complete opposites, but best friends at the same time. In "A Big Guy Took My Ball!" Piggie is devastated when a big guy takes her ball! Gerald is big, too...but is he big enough to help his best friend? A feel-good story that teaches the age-old saying "never judge a book by it's cover."
A Big Guy Took My Ball! is written by Mo Willems, New York Times best-selling author of Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus. You can see all of his Elephant and Piggie titles and great activities to go along with the books at the website.
