The illustrations steal the show in this tale. Gerald dramatically reacts to Piggie's announcement, complete with tears, whaling, panic and general "How will I survive?" antics. Hilarious and heartwarming. Piggie ruins a perfectly good day by telling Gerald she's going. If Piggie goes, who will Gerald skip with, play Ping-Pong with, and wear silly hats with? Willem's Geisel Award-winning duo continues to delight readers with silly shenanigans. Full color.
