Review:
Elephant and Piggie are
reading. The story is literally about grass growing. This hilarious read with
its green and yellow hues depict grass in a way we’ve not seen before. Large
word bursts share lots of adjectives honing in on the individuality of each
blade. Readers will see how the blades of grass express their differences. Some
are curly, crunchy, tasty and even silly. There’s even a dandelion in the
bunch. The story points out one blade of grass who doesn’t quite know how to
describe himself.
Author Laurie Keller along
with illustrations by Mo Willems have created a funny easy read that parents
and teachers can use to discuss growth with children and how they change and
become the person they can be. This can also start a discussion on how kids see
themselves and what adjectives they can use.
