************

Elephant has come up with a great idea!  He and Piggie are going to go for a drive.  WAIT!  What do you need for a good drive?  Well, you need a plan and you need a good friend who is a Pig and you need a whole pile of other things which this fine pig will happily run to fetch.  Well, he runs to fetch almost everything. The best thing of all he doesn't need to look for!

Great read aloud in story time!  Don't forget your sunglasses.

**************

Elephant invites Piggie to go on a driving adventure. However, Elephant realizes that in order to go on their adventure, they need to have a plan. The plan includes obtaining a map, sunglasses, umbrellas, suitcases, and a car. The big obstacle to overcome was getting a car. The two must come up with an alternate plan.

Elephant is in despair when Piggy comes up with the idea to play pirate, which saves the day.

Mo Willems does it again! His characters, through his illustrations, show their strong emotions. The characters shine the story along with their imaginations. Children will enjoy the story and the characters.  Ages 4-8  64 pages  978-1423164821
