About This Book
In this delightful installment of the Elephant & Piggie series, Gerald and Piggie break the fourth wall, realizing they are characters in a book. They revel in the joy of being read, but soon a humorous panic sets in as they wonder what will happen when the book inevitably ends. Mo Willems masterfully uses simple, repetitive vocabulary, vetted by early-learning specialists, making it an ideal choice for emergent readers. The book explores themes of friendship, the nature of stories, and playfully addresses anxieties about endings, all while maintaining a lighthearted and engaging tone.
