5 posts | 13 read
These are one of a series of delightfully humorous award-winning tales for beginner readers from an internationally acclaimed author-illustrator. Gerald is careful. Piggie is not. Piggie cannot help smiling. Gerald can. Gerald worries so that Piggie does not have to. Gerald and Piggie are best friends. In "My Friend is Sad", Gerald is sad. How can Piggie be happy if Gerald is sad? Told entirely in speech bubbles with a repetitive use of familiar phrases, this highly original book is perfect for children just learning to read. It is a vibrant new edition with bright colours that will appeal to young readers. It is a Theodor Seuss Geisel Award-winning series for the most distinguished books for beginner readers.

I said I would do no work today but reading all of these in the heat wave doesn‘t count really 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️ ( planning a little puppet drama unit for my grade 5‘s to put on for grade ones and our grade 2 buddies)

Each to their own but I could never. It begs some questions was this an airport impulse purchase?, are they not enjoying it ?, are they the dump it after you read it sort? Seriously it was sopping I don‘t know how they were able to turn the pages. Lots of readers at the pool makes my heart glad, kids too. 🥰

ChaoticMissAdventures Water accident and probably a bit too much drink? Hope they are having a lovely holiday and that book wasn't for them..... 9mo
Cuilin @ChaoticMissAdventures all of that!! 9mo
Ruthiella I loaned a paperback once to a work colleague who clearly read it poolside. It was WRECKED when he returned it. So I quietly trashed it and bought myself a new copy. 😂 9mo

Cuilin @Ruthiella oh no!! my daughter lent a book to a boy when they were in high school. It got wet/destroyed and he replaced it!! 5 years later and they‘re now dating! 9mo
Soubhiville Ooo, that makes me cringe. 9mo
Cuilin @Soubhiville glad it‘s not just me. I wanted to rescue it. 🛟 9mo
dabbe 😢 for the soggy book.

But ... we could write a short story about this: “The Clue of the Water-Logged Book“ or something like that. Maybe in a Nancy-Drew style. 😃

Read the Spanish translation of this to Jimena this afternoon. I loved it! Very sweet. What a nice twist that Gerald couldn't enjoy the fun costumes piggie put on without her there.

What‘s wrong with Gerald?

Piggy is trying so hard to make his best friend feel better but nothing is working. There must be something he can do to make Gerald happy again!

Honestly, does Mo Willems ever disappoint in children‘s books? A wonderful story from the Elephant and Piggy collection. Perfect for children of all ages!

CoffeeK8 These are my favorites to read with my kids 5y
LoverOfLearning I love these books. I used this to tutor my little cousin. They got him interested in reading. As I would be the pig and he would be the elephant. And we would be silly together while learning and developing vocabulary and speech skills. 5y
