May is Thank-O-Rama Month!
Dear
Reader:
Children,
teachers, librarians, administrators, booksellers, parents, and caretakers have
been counting down the days until they can get their hands on The
Thank You Book, the final (*sobs*) book in the Elephant and Piggie
series. I've witnessed kids and adults laugh out loud uncontrollably and cheer hundreds of times because of Gerald and Piggie.
They have turned many dormant readers into avid readers.
I'm thankful
for Mo's commitment to creating the best books for young
readers, and I know he's thankful for everyone who introduced Elephant and
Piggie to kids and supported every book.
Are
you ready for the main event? I am beyond honored to turn over my blog to Mo
Willems to share a special video message. Thank you, Mo, Gerald, and Piggie! You
make me a better teacher-librarian and read-alouder. (I'm not sure "read-alouder" is a proper term, but Deborah Wiles used it in Countdown, so I am.)
Happy Reading!
-John
