Review:
Another book in the Elephant and Piggie series, this book appealed to my 3 year old before it had even left the shelf. Written in the familiar speech mark style that we've come to know in these books, it lends itself very well to being read aloud by two people (one acting as Piggie, one as Gerald).
There are plenty of laughs in this book, with Piggie dressing up in different costumes to try and cheer Gerald up - but there's one thing that really does make Gerald happy...
My rating: 4 out of 5
