Andrew's Review of Piggie and Gerald

My name is Andrew, and I am 8 years old.  I like Piggie and Gerald books, so I am going to tell you about them.  Piggie and Gerald are a series of books that are written by Mo Willems.  I first read Piggie and Gerald books when I was 4 years old.  I first read them at school. 

Piggie and Gerald books are about a pig and an elephant, and sometimes some other characters.  The pig is named Piggie and is a girl, and the elephant is named Gerald.  Gerald is funny and so is Piggie.  They sometimes have adventures, and they use their imagination.  Whenever they speak, the color of their skin is the color of their words, so you know which character is speaking.  And, sometimes when they speak together, the author will mix the colors together.



You might be wondering what age kids would read Piggie and Gerald.  If you cannot read, then you can look at the pictures or have someone read the story to you, and still enjoy the books.  If you are just starting to learn to read, these books are perfect.  If you are practicing reading these books are still fun.  I am 8 years old and I read chapter books, but I still read Piggie and Gerald books because they are funny, interesting, and I like that they are best friends.  Piggie and Gerald books are also great to read to younger brothers and sisters.



Do you want to know my favorite Piggie and Gerald book?  My favorite Piggie and Gerald book is called A Big Guy Took My Ball.  It is my favorite because in it Piggie finds a ball, and a big guy takes her ball, and then Gerald tries to help her.  And then the big guy says, "I didn't take it, you found my ball."  Then, they played together, and the book does a good job of teaching you to share.
