I'm a Frog!

(3) K-3 Elephant & Piggie Book series. Piggie comes hopping onto the page because she's now a frog ("Ribbit!"). This worries Gerald greatly, but Piggie explains the concept of "pretending" to him and then he's ready to join in the fun ("Moooooooooooo!"). In this latest series entry, Willems uses thicker lines that accentuate the vibrancy of the action and emotion, with a bold green cover to underscore Piggie's "frogness."
