"Really?" says Piggie, with an expression that conveys her doubt much more quickly than extra words that would slow down a beginning reader. "What if it is a fancy party?" asks Gerald. The story is told through a combination of dialogue in speech balloons (Gerald's are gray and Piggie's are pale pink) and expressive illustrations that provide subtext for the story. Mo Willems delivers on what every beginning reader wants and needs: simple but engaging text, with only a handful of words on each page, and a short but hilarious story line. Piggie has been invited to a party, and her friend Gerald the elephant gives advice on how to get ready in this humorous beginning reader. ![]()
