Picture book - “I Broke My Trunk!” by Mo
Willems
I Broke My Trunk is a children’s book about
a small pig named Piggie and a large elephant named Gerald who are best
friends. It begins by Gerald telling the long story on how he broke his poor
little trunk, but when he is explaining this story, he tells it extremely
slowly which drives little Piggie crazy. Mo Willems has received a number of
different honours and awards from writing dozens of children books, where “I
Broke My Trunk!” was one of them that received a Geisel Honour for in 2012. Mo
Willems writing style allows the reader to enjoy the book and bring many laughs
to the reader as they share the ups and downs of Gerald and Piggie. This book
would be suited for beginning readers to practice reading as it may excite them
about reading as Mo Willems adds extra emphasis on the question marks and
exclamation points throughout the story.
