Are You Ready to Play Outside?-An Elephant and Piggie Book

Winning unanimous rave reviews, Mo Willems' Elephant and Piggie series continues to charm readers. Featuring two lovable and funny characters, an optimistic (and sometimes reckless) pig and a cautious, pessimistic elephant, these books make reading irresistible to the beginning readers.Children who sat on their parents' laps to have Pigeon read to them will eagerly take the plunge with these books to start reading on their own. Each book has been vetted by an early learning specialist (and many adorable early learners). In Are You Ready to Play Outside?, Piggie can't wait to go play in the sunshine. But will a rainy day ruin all the fun?

Mo Willems is the author and illustrator of such groundbreaking books as Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale (Caldecott Honor winner 2004) and Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! (Caldecott Honor winner 2003), leading the New York Times to declare him “the biggest new talent to emerge thus far in the ‘00s.” Mo considers this series some of his most fun work.

Mo’s deceptively simple art style was developed in his early career as a six-time Emmy Award–winning writer and animator for Sesame Streetand the creator of Cartoon Network’s Sheep in the Big City. He lives with his family in Brooklyn, New York.
