for Should I Share My Ice Cream? by Mo Willems
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Decisions, decisions ... Should elephant share his ice cream cone with best friend Piggie? Or should he eat it all himself? Maybe Piggie wouldn’t like this flavor ice cream. Of course she’d like it! Then again, Piggie doesn’t know he has ice cream. But if Piggie is having a sad day, ice cream might cheer her up. Definitely share it. Decision made at last, the inevitable follows when the scoop of ice cream falls off the cone. “Nooooooooo!” Luckily, Elephant wasn’t the only one who bought ice cream, and Piggie is happy to share hers. Mo Willems offers up another delightful Elephant and Piggie outing, again showing mastery of minimalist drawings and speech bubble dialogue to tell a story, and kid–friendly humor to delight. (Ages 4–7)
