Author and Illustrator: Mo Willems
Book Summary: When Elephant gets a sneaking suspicion he and Piggie are being watched, Piggie takes a closer look and discovers us, the reader! Once Elephant's shock wears off, he and Piggie decide to have a little fun by making the reader say a certain fruity word. It's all fun and games until they discover the book will end in 10 pages. Quick thinking brings a satisfying end to all.
Book Review: They're on to us! We readers, that is. The latest installment of the Elephant and Piggie books, We're in a Book!, is perhaps the funniest one so far. Readers will feel part of the story as Elephant and Piggie control what they read and say, and even ask a favor at the end. Mo Willems captures surprise, delight, fear and happiness in each sketched depiction of his clever characters. Willems is the best at taking a limited vocabulary (suitable even for kindergartners) and creating an engaging and unique story. This is not an easy thing to do! Every beginning reader should have Elephant and Piggie books to practice with.
