DESCRIPTION:
This feature is a nice touch that facilitates paired/choral readings. Piggie's expressive features show her questions about their attire, but the friends set off bedecked in flippers, masks, top hat, pearl earrings, cowboy hat, and evening dress. From easy reader and chapter book series to epic fantasies, favorite characters, settings and story lines reemerge in new additions. And in I Am Invited to a Party! party expert Gerald helps Piggie prepare for all possibilities, as they get dressed for a fancy party, pool party and costume party-all at the same time. With the help of Piggie, he is finally able to ask them to move, but, as the final page reveals, they have become her problem. In the second title, Gerald learns that there are worse things than a bird on your head, namely, two love birds, a nest, and three hatchlings. The animated illustrations will help new readers decode tone and meaning while the spare dialogue enhances the pictures' slapstick humor.
