Surprises look like fun! Piggie and Gerald decide to surprise each other...and they do! ( )

This book is about elephant and piggy, who are friends. They run into two squirrels who are playing a game with each other. The squirrels are hiding behind a rock and "surprising" each other. Elephant and Piggy think it would be a good idea for them to do that too. Except for them, they kept running around and around the rock not finding each other, until the end.

Assumptions started to build up when Piggie and Gerald play a game with the element of surprise. When they both hid behind the same big rock and didn’t see each other on the other side of it they started to assume the worst. Mo Willems reminds us that children’s imagination can skew their deductive reasoning assumptions. It was kind of interesting to see what the two friends concluded what happened to the other but it could’ve been better. ( )
