My Friend Is Sad – Mo Willems
We love the Mo Willems books! We have collected a bunch of his pigeon books, our favorite being The Pigeon Finds A Hotdog. While working at the book fair a while back I came across an elephant and piggie series I didn’t know about. I bought the book My Friend Is Sad, and it has been very popular too. The kids really like these because they can relate to the characters and their dramatic emotional responses. There are few words, and the illustrations are simple, but they work for all ages. Hunter at ten appreciates the subtle humor and Sabrina at two loves the simple story and expressive characters. Genius!
We’re huge fans of Mo Willems too, and have loved all of the pigeon books as well, but we have not read any of the Elephant and Piggie series yet. I’m going to have to get these, thanks Amy!
I will get them. I am ALWAYS looking for good kids books. I am forcing the guys to read before they do ANYTHING every morning.
That is so funny because those two books are the favorites of my kids, too! “Voices” are a must with these books.
This is not a familiar author to me.
I’ll check this series out for sure.
Sounds very cute.
