We Are in a Book! (An Elephant and PIggie Book)
Mo Willems continues to delight with Elephant and Piggie, whose humorous exchanges—all conveyed through speech bubbles—are a gift to beginning readers. In We Are in a Book! Elephant and Piggie make a stunning discovery: “The reader is reading these word bubbles. We are in a book!” Piggie is quick to realize the powerful position this puts them in. She makes the reader say “Banana,” which sends Elephant into gales of laughter. And when the book is coming perilously close to its end, the answer is obvious. “Will you please read us again?” Willems’s deceptively simple dialogue and illustrations not only are brimming with wit but also grounded in conventions that support both reading and visual literacy. ©2010 Cooperative Children's Book Center
