Review

Gerald is bigger than Piggie, but is he big enough to get Piggie’s ball back from the big guy that took it? Mo Willems crafts another Elephant and Piggie book that delivers humorous illustrations and a thoughtful warning against preemptive judgments towards people. Gerald and Piggie remain hilariously suited to one another, and the additional character in the book adds to the world Willems has created. A great book for early readers to grow in their comprehension, A Big Guy Took My Ball!, just like many other Willems’ works, will be an instant classic and highly popular on the shelves of any school library. Recommended. James Sandberg, Centennial Library Intern
