This easy-reader picture book (An Elephant & Piggie Book) begins with cartoon illustrations of the main characters: a pig and an elephant wearing glasses and no text. The author uses simple text to create a dialogue between the two characters as the elephant is experiencing a very humorous situation. The dialogue appears in a text bubbles that matches the color of each animal and is enlarged to show voice volume. The author's depiction of the action going on upon the elephant's head encourages the reader (and audience) to laugh out loud! I chose this book because I love to read Mo Willems books! He has a very funny way of telling even the most simple of stories to make everyone smile! A great book for a quick laugh!
Big question(s): How do you think the pig get the nest off of his head? Why was the elephant so upset? If we were to extend the story, what do you think would happen next?
