"My Friend is Sad" by Mo Willems



Kindergarten-Grade 3: In these two easy-to-read books, Willems introduces two best friends. Gerald is a slightly stodgy, bespectacled elephant with a stumpy, downturned trunk. Piggie is more daring and whimsical, and, like many friends, the two complement one another. In My Friend Is Sad, Piggie tries hard to cheer her dejected friend. She disguises herself as a cowboy, clown, and a robot, but Gerald doesn't recognize her and is sad because she isn't there to enjoy the fun. You will LOVE the ending; it will make you smile and laugh! This is the same author as the award winning book, "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus." Mo Willems is a five-time Emmy Award-winning writer and animator for Sesame Street and the creator of Cartoon Network's Sheep in the Big City.
