About This Book

Attending her first party, Piggie follows "party expert" Gerald the elephant's advice on what to wear, with surprising results.

Our Review

When Piggie gets invited to her first party, she turns to her friend Gerald the elephant for fashion advice, trusting his self-proclaimed expertise on proper party attire. The resulting outfit choice leads to a genuinely surprising and hilarious outcome that will have readers laughing out loud. This story captures the all-too-relatable experience of overthinking a social event and the comedy that can unfold when well-intentioned advice goes spectacularly wrong. The narrative builds anticipation beautifully, making the payoff both unexpected and deeply satisfying.

Mo Willems delivers another masterclass in early reader storytelling with his signature blend of expressive illustrations and perfectly paced dialogue. The dynamic between cautious Piggie and confident Gerald creates a wonderful tension that young readers will immediately understand, especially anyone who's ever felt uncertain about fitting in. The book's humor works on multiple levels, offering physical comedy for younger children while subtly exploring themes of friendship and social anxiety for more sophisticated readers. This celebration of being true to yourself delivers its message with heart and tremendous comedic timing.
