Review:
Gerald and Piggie are best
of friends. Piggie is on a mission to thank everyone who has been kind to him
or has been his friend. But Gerald, on the other hand, feels as though he may forget
someone. Piggie says thank you to Whale, Penguin, Brian the bat and even some
flies who helped him cook. But, Gerald still feels that Piggie has forgotten
someone. Can you guess who?
Author Mo Willems has
created another simple sentence read for beginners. His basic geometric shapes and
colors of characters make it fun and easy for kids to recreate. Parents and
teachers can use this guide to discuss the importance of being polite and why
they should say thank you. There is also a surprise at the end for young readers.
