Should I Share My Ice Cream? An Elephant & Piggie Book Hardcover by: Mo Willems

LIKE NEW!!! EUC!!!! Should I Share My Ice Cream? An Elephant & Piggie Hardcover Book Gerald and Piggie are best friends. Gerald is careful. Piggie is not. In Should I Share My Ice Cream? Gerald has a big decision to make (across 57 pages). But will he make it in time? Gerald is excited about his "awesome, yummy, sweet, super, great, tasty, nice, cool ice cream" cone. But worry sets in with thoughts of his best friend, Piggie. Should he share his treat with her? As Gerald wrestles with the pros and cons, observant readers will notice that the ice cream is melting fast. By the time he decides in favor of sharing, it has melted into a puddle at his feet, and Gerald realizes that he "blew it." But timing is everything, and Piggie shows up at that moment with a cone of her own and happily shares it. "Not my plan," thinks Gerald, but he also realizes that this arrangement is fine. Swift changes in text and image size provide much of the humor, though nothing is funnier than Elephant's rationalizing: "Sharing a flavor Piggie does not like would be wrong." Willems's simple text allows beginning readers independent success, although the text and illustrations also work well as a read-aloud. Fans of the series will not want to miss this story, and adults can use the simple story to discuss sharing, friendship, and making decisions in a timely manner. *This Elephant and Piggie book has been placed carefully into a new ziploc baggie to keep it clean.
