Willems, M. (2013). A big guy took my ball! New York, New York:
Hyperion Books. Piggy the pig and Gerald the elephant are good friends. Piggy
the pig is not happy. He has a problem, so he tells his friend, Gerald the
elephant. Gerald the elephant tries to help out Piggy the pig. When Gerald the
elephant and Piggy the pig understand the problem, they save the day by helping
out a fellow friend. Willems uses soft hues of blues, grays, and pinks that go
from page to page. Text is presented as easy to read for young readers.
This picture book can be used to teach a lesson to young readers about
accepting others about their size and helping one another out. This could also
be used to identify theme and practicing making inferences for older
readers.
