Response/Rating: 4- Wow so cute! I loved the way Gerald explained that he was not a pig, and that “he did not belong” and the way Piggie handled it! It shows that everyone is different, but we can all join in the same fun!
One question you would ask before a read aloud: What makes you different from your friends?
