Listen to My Trumpet!

Listen to My Trumpet! by Mo Willems

Summary: When Piggie plays her new trumpet for Gerald, the elephant decides he must be honest in his response.

My Thoughts: Another Piggie and Elephant book to love!  Gerald is a great friend who has to gently let Piggie know that her trumpet playing just isn't very good.  Telling a good friend the truth can be difficult.  The laugh comes when Piggie explains that her goal is not to play music on the trumpet!  This is a great laugh out loud story that can also be a springboard for lots of discussion about friendship and honesty. Loved it! There was never any doubt!
