Piggie ruins a perfectly good day by telling Gerald that he "is going." But before Piggie can finish the sentence, Gerald goes ballistic. In a panic, the elephant wonders who he will play with, or who he can wear silly hats with.
"I am sorry, Gerald," says Piggie. "But, I am going."
Now Gerald gets angry and replies that he is going, too! Nonplussed, Piggie says, "Have fun."
"Wait! Go later! Go tomorrow! Go next week!" shouts Gerald.
"I am going now," the little pig responds.
With the situation reaching crisis level, the totally distraught elephant starts crying, "Why? Why? Why?"
Piggie's comeback is simple: "It is lunchtime, Gerald."
Where the story goes from here you'll have to discover when you read this latest story in this popular series by Mo Willems. But you wouldn't be too far off if you think someone ends up with egg all over his trunk!
It's hard not to smile when this odd couple gets together. Not only is this a great story for youngsters ready to tackle reading stories themselves, but it's also silly and fun. What more can you ask for in an early reader?
