(3) K-3 Elephant & Piggie Book series. Piggie tells Gerald she has a surprise but can't show him until later, and Gerald's popping eyes and elephant-sized groans make his frustration clear. But the starry surprise, shown in photo-collaged spreads unusual for this series, is worth the wait. Though this installment has a simpler plot than some of its predecessors, Gerald's fury should make for tons of read-aloud fun.
