About book Should I Share My Ice Cream? (2011)

Should I Share My Ice Cream? by Mo Willems is one of our students' favorite books at Acton Academy Guatemala. They love the characters of Piggy and Elephant and they have read this book so many times that they have actually memorized the lines! I think my favorite part is probably when Elephant thinks so hard about whether or not to share his ice cream that (spoiler alert) his ice cream actually melts. It all ends well, though, because his friend Piggy shares his ice cream with Elephant. The characters have very real personalities, and the drawings are cute. We are buying as many Piggy and Elephant books as we can afford! I definitely give it a full five stars. This book is a great book for beginning readers with simple text in a dialogue format, that would also be great for a read-aloud. Gerald is going through an ethical debate of whether to share his ice cream or not with Piggie, and this book can help students learn the lesson of doing the right thing as well. The humor of Mo Willems' style shines through the text, and the simple illustrations allow the reader to focus on the story's text.
