I Will Surprise My Friend! by Mo Willems

3.0

I read this book today with one of the kids at work. It's actually kind of hilarious. The drawings are pretty funny. The story can be used to help students with basic emotion identification (surprised, worried, happy). It can also be used to help children with basic reasoning skills (What is wrong with the plan that elephant & piggie come up with? Why can't elephant and piggie find each other by the rock?). Overall, it can be a pretty good tool for elementary school kids and it's entertaining for the adult reading it as well.
