Should I Share My Ice Cream? (An Elephant and Piggie book) by Mo Willems
The publisher says… Gerald is careful. Piggie is not.
Piggie cannot help smiling. Gerald can.
Gerald worries so that Piggie does not have to.
Gerald and Piggie are best friends.
In Should I Share My Ice Cream? Gerald has a big decision to make. But will he make it in time?
Eva says… So here’s Elephant and Piggie again. And this time Gerald (that’s ELEPHANT!) has ICE CREAM and he can’t decide if he should share it with his best friend (that’s PIGGIE!) or eat it all himself.
Now he could just buy Piggie an ice cream cone and then they’d BOTH have ice cream.
Anyway, Elephant thinks about this PROBLEM too much because something BAD happens. And I don’t want to tell you what it is, but in the end it all works out, because I’ll give you a hint: because PIGGIE likes GERALD as much as Gerald likes Piggie! That’s why they’re friends and that’s why they have so many books together.
And what I like is how even when Piggie looks sad it kind of makes me laugh. This guy writes good books. And I know he’s not doing any more Elephant and Piggie ones, but I hope he does some other ones real soon. Because all the ones I’ve read of his are real good. And so is THIS one!
