A dance lesson between best friends

Piggie has a new goal: teaching Gerald some dance moves. Gerald’s cautious nature sets up the central question, while the description hints that the lesson may run both ways, touching on friendship and what friends can teach one another. Part of Mo Willems’s Elephant and Piggie series, this 64-page hardcover centers on the pair’s contrasting temperaments and a shared activity.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in stories about friendship.
  • Young readers who enjoy Elephant and Piggie’s contrasting personalities.
  • Families seeking a picture book built around dancing and learning together.
