Watch Me Throw the Ball! by Mo Willems

Willems, Mo Watch Me Throw the Ball! 64 pgs. Hyperion Books for Children, 2009. EARLY READER. $8.99. In this delightful Elephant and Piggie book, Piggie wants to throw the ball after he sees Elephant do it, but Elephant warns him that there is a lot more to throwing a ball than you think. Piggie listens to all of Elephant's advice and then gives it a go...but things don't turn out quite how Elephant thought they should. In the end though, it is Elephant that learns the greater lesson....just have fun!! This is such a cute and fun book with simple illustrations and comical bubble text...kids are sure to love it!
