pickThis MF Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor book would be another great book to read as part of an author study AS, Mo Willems, the author is also the author of the Knuffle Bunny books and the Pigeon books. This book teaches children to have patience, and I honestly was getting anxious to see what the surprise at the end was, so I had to have patience while reading.

pickPiggie has a surprise to show Gerald the Elephant but he is going to have to wait a bit to see it...
Was it worth the wait?
Can‘t go wrong with any Mo Willems book. Had to share my Kindergarten class‘ elephant puppets as we learn about the letter E!
My handsome big 19 month old boy earlier today just lounging with one of his favorite books. 💙🐘🐖

This F picture book was created and illustrated by Mo Willems. Mo Willems received the Theodore Geisel award for this creation. Since this text is meant for younger, beginner readers it would be most efficient as a GR activity. This unique story of a friendship between an elephant and a pig teaches an important lesson. Piggie has something for Gerald, but he must wait for it.
pickThis book is about Piggie having a surprise for Gerald the Elephant. Gerald is super excited but at the same time very impatient for the surprise. He learns that being patient was worth it because it was a great surprise. This is an awesome story to teach students about being patient. As a teacher we will always be busy and students may not always understand that. This is a book I would share when a students is impatient towards the teacher or
My kids really enjoy the elephant and piggie books...and this was the first title that came to mind after "Waiting for Godot." The simple words and clear frustrations of elephant and piggie are always funny and relatable. #waiting #uncannyoctober
Whenever we go to the bookstore with my daughter we read her books. This time, she read me a book! 😁

Early morning flight tomorrow and I'm up late worried about what to pack...
Hope I haven't forgotten anything 😬
My Book Outlet order *was* supposed to arrive today but when I checked tracking just now, the delivery date got pushed back to tomorrow despite the box arriving in Albuquerque yesterday. Grr. I want my books! 😞
Wrapping this up for my 4 year old. I can't remember who recommended Mo Willems to me on here, but we picked a couple of his books up from the library and my son loved them! This one is going under the tree for him, and I can't wait. (Haaaaaa pun...) #kidlit #litsyreccomends
Happiness is getting notified yesterday that you have 3 packages coming from UPS today by 'end of day.' #bookmail😄Agony is that it is just after 8:00 PM and they are not here yet!😕 I'm at the end of the route & have had a few deliveries as late as 8:45-but there was that one time when they didn't arrive & it 'updated' at the end of the night & the notice said that I had changed the delivery date to the following day. Not! Grrr...😖 #wantmybooks
pickYes, waiting is hard! But, waited too long? How very wrong Gerald is! Young readers learn some things ARE worth waiting all day for.
Waiting Is Not Easy! | 
Mo Willems‘ site has so many other books and even videos that can be explored for AS
EL strategy 4 linking prior knowledge would be perfect for a discussion about feelings we feel when we have to wait. UDL strategy 7.2 optimize relevance and value works well with the lesson on having patience.
Mo Willems has so many other Elephant & Piggie books that would all be a great addition to a classroom library! 4y
