Response/Rating:2, such a nice story. I find myself enjoying Mo Willems selection of Elephant and Piggie books the more and more I read them. The meaning of the book, I understood to be, believing in yourself and your abilities-even when others don’t. Also a message of asking for assistance being helpful is revealed.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Have you ever done anything that you, or someone else, had thought you could never do?
