GROWN UPS PRETEND TOO??? ( )

I'm A Frog by Mo Willems is about Piggie taking on a new identity and teaching his best friend, Gerald the Elephant about pretending. (And how adults do it too ;) ) Elephant and Piggie is one of my favorite series to read with little kids. When I taught second grade, my students LOVED them. ( )

Piggie's wink on the cover below the title says it all - this is a game of pretend, with Gerald predictably confused...but he soon joins in on the joke in his own way.

This one has inspired a LOT of hopping and ribbiting and an appreciation for a certain type of joke.
