Editorial Reviews

Kirkus Reviews
The latest Elephant and Piggie book displays all the snappy pacing and wry humor readers have come to expect of the Geisel Medal-winning series, with a valuable lesson in friendship and flexibility tucked inside. Gerald and Piggie decide to play catch, but when Snake slithers up asking to play too, they are a bit dubious. "You do not want to play with me?" Snake asks sadly. "No!" exclaims Gerald. "We do want to play with you. / But..." "We are playing catch," Piggie explains. "With our arms," Gerald elaborates. "So?" says Snake. This awkward moment resolves with the three friends trying to play catch, with predictable results ("BONK!"). More balls ("BONK! BONK! BONK! BONK!...") isn't the answer, but then Piggie has an idea (illustrated by a compact fluorescent light bulb) that provides the ideal solution. Page turns and placement of speech bubbles are customarily flawless, yielding multiple guffaws, but this story also provides much-needed guidance to kids who are navigating the etiquette minefield of friendship among peers of differing abilities. Brilliantly subtle and spot-on. (Early reader. 4-8)

    GREAT STORY

    ALL of the Elephant and Piggie stories are wonderful!The text is written so beginning readers can read it and the illustrations bring on great conversation about how each character is feeling and thinking. I teach first grade and used this book for a lesson about Dr Martin Luther King Jr. this week. Pig and Elephant want to play catch but Snake has no arms to play that game, but they find a way to include him with his differences. There isn't a Mo Willems book I don't like ! The Naked Mole Rat is perfect for anytime there is change ,,, It may be different but we still will have fun.

    Best of the series!

    My ten-year-old laughs at this book, as do I, when I read it to his 5-year-old sister. The road to discovery can be painful, and Gerald and Piggie are just trying, in their clueless way, to discover how to include Snake in their ball game. If that worries people, they certainly shouldn't read their kid the book. My kids are old enough to know not to wham people and animals in the head repeatedly. So they get another important message from this. If you don't want someone to wham you in the head with a ball, tell them to stop! Anyway, we all like this series, but none of them so far has been as funny as this one... not a problem with the rest of the series, mind you, because this one is so good. It's all in the timing.

    My 7 & 5 year old LOVE this book!

    My kids are 7 and 5 and we all laughed out loud while reading this book. While another reviewer thought that Piggy and Elephant were cruel to snake we thought that snake was playing a silly joke on elephant and piggy. Snake can laugh at his own differences and is still willing to try new solutions to the problem- how can I play too? I think this comes across very well with the expressions an the animal faces throughout the book. Overall we loved this book and would highly recommend it.
