Can I Play Too? by Mo Willems - ESSENTIAL

Willems, Mo. Can I Play Too? Hyperion, 2010. $8.99. EARLY READER.

 Author Mo Willems delivers another delightful Elephant & Piggie Book. Elephant and Piggie are playing catch when a snake comes up and asks if he can play too. The two are reluctant because the snake doesn’t have arms, so how can he catch? Elephant and Piggie try throwing the ball to snake, but mostly bonk him on the head with the ball. Finally the snake realizes he can’t play catch, but Piggie has an idea on how to play catch with everyone.

 A wonderful book about including people who are different then you. The illustrations are simple and effective.
