And the next thing you know, there's his friend Piggie, interrupting him. He lies down, all comfortable and sleepy. In this installment, Gerald the Elephant decides to take a nap (with his stuffed animal, a Knuffle Bunny). The latest Elephant & Piggie book is I Will Take a Nap!. The books are so fun that this is not at all boring for me as an adult reader (unlike some early reader series). These days she'll have me do most of the reading, but will chime in herself with the occasional word. Although they are meant for new readers to read themselves, my daughter and I frequently read them together. The Elephant & Piggie books are a fabulous and multiple Cybils Award-winning series of early readers. She loves, loves, loves the way that Willems gives his series characters cameos in other books. As in, "let's read a book by Mo Willems now". Willems was, in fact, the first author that my daughter could name. We are huge Mo Willems fans in my household, reading everything from the Knuffle Bunny books to the Pigeon books to Willems' standalone titles. Book: I Will Take a Nap! (Elephant & Piggie)
