Review # 1 was written on 2021-02-18 00:00:00 Michael Foley In this volume of the epic Elephant and Piggie saga (truly Beowulf and Gilgamesh can hardly compare to these adventures) Piggie discovers the Gerald is sad. She decides to try and cheer him up wearing several different costumes. A moment of happiness is seen, but it is fleeting. What truly is bothering Gerald? (We also learn who Piggie will side with during the inevitable Robot Uprising... she too will welcome our new robot overlords) This volume is one of the more amusing in the series in my opinion. While my daughter laughs at pretty much all of them, this one is one of the prime candidates for the dreaded "again, again." Despite the numerous time's we've read it, this one hasn't lost its original charm which says a lot for it. The end of the story is obviously exaggerated, but rather relatable. I think we've all felt that way at some point, and I appreciate how these books grapple with some concepts/emotions that are harder for children to grasp sometimes in an easy and amusing way. 4/5 stars.
