Ok. I think it’s pretty obvious what happened here. I love this author and I went into volunteer at the library and saw that all of these came back. Not for one second did I worry about taking these away from potential beginning readers. I returned them quickly anyway! I love Elephant and Piggie. And I got to meet the squirrels too. You’re probably thinking I have some kind of crush on Mo Willems books. Well, I do. They’re great. Plus, I’m getting really good at his kind of art, maybe because he purposely makes it so a five year old can draw his pictures. And that, of course, really works out in my favor.
Reading Journal books 35-37 are:
I love my new toy by Mo Willems
I will surprise my friend by Mo Willems
and
Watch me throw the ball by Mo Willems
- I love surprise watch me!
I feel like I’ve exhausted things to do with Elephant and Piggie. You’ve just got to read these books, and the characters will become your friends, and I’m sure you’ll come up with many more adventures to have with them.
EXCITING! There are French versions of a few of these books!
Check out Mo’s blog here to see them!
ok, promise that tomorrow won’t be more Elephant and Piggie
(turning the page to check….)
but there will be a story about some animals from an author who has already been in reading journal!
Stay tuned!
until next time, read and write on!
