I Will Surprise My Friend! by Mo Willems
Elephant and Piggie witness two squirrel buddies having the time of their lives by jumping out from behind a rock and surprising each other. It looks like such fun, that Elephant and Piggie decide to play the same game. It’s no surprise that their game plan goes awry and Elephant imagines that some disaster has befallen Piggie, while Piggie assumes that Gerald has gone for lunch. When they finally find each other again they are so surprised, they decide it’s better to play a different game.
Before I start reviewing, I’ll admit that I’m hopelessly fond of the Elephant and Piggie books. In general, they are simple, silly and fun. This one is no exception. I was kept in suspense as Elephant and Piggie look for each other, and had I been six, I would have fallen on the floor laughing when they finally find each other again. The illustrations are simply colored line drawings and the text is made up entirely of dialogue. These simple stories are great for acting out and are sure to put a smile on your face.
