This one is worth waiting for。

Another delightful Gerald & Piggy。 Gerald as usual rather pouty; Piggy persistently patient， for the most part。
Danielle
，
Perfect book for teaching patience to your child！ Anyone can relate to how Gerald the Elephant felt about waiting for a surprise。

Perfect teaching and reference tool for the purpose of waiting as a K-1 student

Waiting is not easy is a Geisel award-winning book。 This is an excellent book for beginning readers。 This would be great to have students read independently。 Students can also relate to this book and the message of the story。

We see a pig cartwheel on the page telling his elephant friend he has a surprise for him。 The elephant goes on to ask questions about the surprise such as whether is it big or pretty to which the pig responds yes。 The elephant is so eager to have the surprise that the pig has to tell him that he has to wait。 The elephant asks why and the pig responds that it isn't here yet。 Elephant tries to wait for the surprise but then gets frustrated and demands to see the surprise。 he waits and waits， leavi We see a pig cartwheel on the page telling his elephant friend he has a surprise for him。 The elephant goes on to ask questions about the surprise such as whether is it big or pretty to which the pig responds yes。 The elephant is so eager to have the surprise that the pig has to tell him that he has to wait。 The elephant asks why and the pig responds that it isn't here yet。 Elephant tries to wait for the surprise but then gets frustrated and demands to see the surprise。 he waits and waits， leaving and getting frustrated multiple times， but as it gets dark， he sees his surprise up in the sky; beautiful stars。 He then realizes how important it is to have patience， I liked the art style of this book and how simplistic it is。 And I like the speech bubbles interacting with the big elephant get's mad。 I feel as though this book shows the value of patience， 。。。more

Piggie has a surprise， but Gerald will have to wait for it。 Waiting is not easy for anyone and Gerald isn't sure all this waiting is worth the surprise。 Piggie has a surprise， but Gerald will have to wait for it。 Waiting is not easy for anyone and Gerald isn't sure all this waiting is worth the surprise。 。。。more

One of these days， I am going to snap and send a link to this book to a co-worker who needs to learn some patience。 That will result in me getting fired， leading to divorce and then homelessness。While I am freezing to death on a street corner， just before I fade to black。， I will remember the delight in my daughter's face when I read this book to her。 One of these days， I am going to snap and send a link to this book to a co-worker who needs to learn some patience。 That will result in me getting fired， leading to divorce and then homelessness。While I am freezing to death on a street corner， just before I fade to black。， I will remember the delight in my daughter's face when I read this book to her。 。。。more

Un cuento infantil sobre la paciencia， aveces esperamos tanto algo que va a ocurrir en el día que se nos olvida disfrutar el proceso， disfrutar esa espera que se vuelve angustiante si solo pensamos en el futuro y vemos el prefesente como algo molesto。

My youngest is obsessed with Elephant and Piggie books so they always get 5 stars。 This one is great because kids can relate since they also dislike having to wait for things。

"I didn't like that book，" said my partner， who was eavesdropping on my read-aloud from the kitchen。"Why not？ Did it strike a little too close to home？""。。。maybe。""Did you feel like you were accused of being secretly a toddler？""。。。maybe。"But the kid liked it， and it got us through her impatience waiting for dinner to be finished， and that's what counts。 "I didn't like that book，" said my partner， who was eavesdropping on my read-aloud from the kitchen。"Why not？ Did it strike a little too close to home？""。。。maybe。""Did you feel like you were accused of being secretly a toddler？""。。。maybe。"But the kid liked it， and it got us through her impatience waiting for dinner to be finished， and that's what counts。 。。。more

Grade Level: K-1Genre: Modern FantasyThis book has always been one of my favorites。 Mo Willems easily captures his audience with the use of fun drama。 This easy-reader is amusing for any reader。 It is extremely fun to read when you get into character and use different voices for Piggie and Gerald。

Waiting is definitely not easy！ Miss 7 did enjoy reading about Gerald struggling to wait （and why it was worth it）。Miss 7 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library， sometimes around particular topics or themes。 We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors。 Waiting is definitely not easy！ Miss 7 did enjoy reading about Gerald struggling to wait （and why it was worth it）。Miss 7 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library， sometimes around particular topics or themes。 We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors。 。。。more
