Elephant & Piggie Books: I Am Going! 小象小猪系列：马上就来 ISBN

When Piggie tells Elephant, I am going, you can imagine the
thoughts that run through Elephant’s head. Elephant, after all,
sees everything in the darkest possible light. What about me?
Elephant whines tearfully. Who will I skip with? Who will I play
ping pong with? Who will I wear a silly hat with? Piggie remains
resolute. She is going. Elephant declares that he will go, too. But
that doesn’t faze Piggie. Elephant pleads Piggie to go
later–tomorrow, next week, next year. Piggie must go now. But WHY?
WHY? WHY? cries Elephant. It is lunch time, Gerald, Piggie
explains. I am going to eat lunch. Of course the two inseparable
friends have lunch together, making today a good day. Just like
yesterday. Mo Willems, a master at comic pacing, delivers another
perfectly delightful Elephant & Piggie schtick that will have
kids laughing as they learn to read.

Mo Willems is the New York Times best-selling author and

… minimal elements” in a starred review.
