Should I Share My Ice Cream?

My granddaughter also introduced me to Elephant & Piggie. Cautious, plan-ahead Gerald Elephant and free-spirited Piggie are best friends, kind and open about their emotions, but sometimes oblivious. We’ve read the more than two dozen tales in the series, and it’s hard to pick a favorite. The stories are designed for early readers.

Mo Willems is simply brilliant in his ability to capture children’s authentic feelings in a way that’s funny and engaging. I love the whole Elephant and Piggie series!
