Waiting really isn't easy, but this is overly redundant...and just can't get beyond the dully-colored illustrations.

Waiting is Not Easy! written and illustrated by Mo Willems is a part of the Elephant & Piggie book series. Gerald and Piggie, an elephant and a pig, are best friends. In the beginning of the story, Piggie tells Gerald that Piggie has a surprise for Gerald. Gerald is very excited about the idea of a surprise, but he is not excited when Piggie tells him he has to wait for the surprise. Throughout the book, Gerald goes back and forth between the idea that he simply cannot wait for the surprise,
Every time a new Elephant and Piggie book comes out, I think, He can't possibly top the last one! And then Mo Willems just easily tops the last one. This book is my new favorite. I mean, I love We Are In A Book. It's so meta, kids can barely appreciate it. But this one has a sweetness that honestly made me tear up a little. So charming! Love Gerald and Piggie, and hope to see them in many more adventures. Definitely one of my top picture books for this year.
Waiting Is Not Easy is a Caldecott Award Winner. This book has two characters, that teach each other how to be patient with waiting for a surprise at the end of the day. The book is a good book for easy readers and it teaches a lesson on how to be patient.

Explanation Toward Books Waiting is Not Easy! (Elephant & Piggie #22)
Gerald the Elephant is eager to learn when Piggie announces that there is a surprise on the way. However, once Gerald learns that the surprise is not yet ready, he is forced to accept having to wait. What begins as a slight irritation soon sours him into an emotional mess and Piggie is forced to watch her friend unravel. As time passes and the day turns to night, Gerald is unsure he will be able to cope, but waiting might be the one thing he needs to enjoy this ultimate surprise. Neo did well reading this to me and seems to love this series. He knew all about Piggie and Gerald, including the emotional mess that is one particular elephant. I have a pile of these books and Neo is eager to tackle them. Stay tuned, folks!Identify Books Conducive To Waiting is Not Easy! (Elephant & Piggie #22)

The latest Elephant & Piggie book is dedicated to Trixie. "For Trixie. I can't wait to see what you'll do next." When reading aloud I always share the dedication page & sometimes we have no idea who the person is or what the story is behind the dedication. With Mo Willems & Trixie we can go back to Trixie and Knuffle Bunny. The idea of having to wait is not easy for anyone really - so I think we can all identify with Greald's growing frustration. But in the end, all good things areWaiting really isn't easy, but this is overly redundant...and just can't get beyond the dully-colored illustrations.
