He's a fairly reluctant reader to begin with, alas.īut Jms, Joseph and I really enjoyed it. Not the fault of this very entertaining book, which even Theo admitted was "okay good" when I asked him whether the story was okay or good. To which I said, "Excuse me, Mom jokes, too!" Joseph was insistent on reading the book himself out loud, but I had to read the book to Theo in order to engage him with it. I read this first with Jms, and he and I fell about with laughter at the lighthearted antics depicted here, even if Jms did precede his appreciation with a "Dad jokes!" proclamation. find a sign as to what they ought to do next? Each of the friends has a strength, however, that they can all combine to this purpose. The book itself is about four friends who decide to start a club but run into various sorts of trouble naming it. It's A Sign begins and ends with short (and hilarious!) vignettes featuring Elephant and Piggie, with a cameo from Pigeon at the end. Jms grew up on Knuffle Bunny, while Joseph had always seemed more partial to Elephant and Piggie (tho that latter might have been because he wanted to read more about trumpet players like Jms, who took the instrument up for a year in fourth grade.) More importantly, I had to check it out with my kids. Mo Willems is a staple in our household, so when I (belatedly) discovered that he had an imprint called Elephant & Piggie Like Reading! I knew I had to check it out.
