Comments:
So, do you agree with me that Mo Willems is a genius? He
never seems to tire, and each book is as good as the last. While his Pigeon
books are my personal favorites, I do like Piggie and Gerald an awful lot.
So, Gerald has a broken trunk and Piggie has an
all-consuming curiosity. Gerald’s story, however, is as long as his trunk, and
Piggie doesn’t have an awful lot of patience. And likely, neither does the book’s
audience. How did he break his trunk? You’ll find out. And you’ll be surprised.
Willems is good at giving an ending a twist. And I think he
gets me every time.
Would you recommend
this to a friend?
Yes. It’s a good easy reader that will keep kids reading.
