This is a book by Mo Willems. It is a book that is in the piggy and elephant series. It is about a pig and an elephant are good friends. The Elephant can’t stop sneezing. He is really upset because he thinks that since he cannot stop sneezing that he might be allergic to pigs. Piggy is Gerald's best friend and if he is allergic then he won’t be able to be friends anymore. Gerald decides to go see Doctor. At the doctor he keeps sneezing so he starts to think that he is allergic to cats too. The doctor explains to Gerald that he is not allergic to pigs or cats. It’s just a simple cold. I would use this in my classroom because you can teach a lesson to your students about going to the doctor when you have anything going on with you. Doctors can be very helpful. Students need to need to take care of themselves and not spread germs by knowing the importance of washing their hands. Who can resist a Mo Willems? His whimsical pal combo of Gerald the Elephant and his best friend Piggie have gone through many adventures together with simple, yet superb humor and this new entry, Pigs Make Me Sneeze! is another fun read for beginners. It appears Gerald might be allergic to pigs, which means he will be forever separated from Piggie! Yet, a visit to Dr. Cat finds a remedy to Gerald’s and Piggie’s current dilemma. As usual, Mo Willems brings a bit of sunny fun to the world of young readers.Take a bit of Dr. Seuss illustrative, toss in some Laurel and Hardy soft nonsense, and shake together with a good measure of literary elements pace, conflict, theme, and irony and open wide for a reading delight. Mo Willems is everything the honors and awards make him out to be. Subtle and deeply funny all at the same time, his books easily pass “Read it again, please!” test. The ending is absolutely drop down funny. Must be read with plenty of flair and dramatic.
