Both are perfectly pitched to their audience, who are too often given the dreariest of stuff to cut their reading teeth on. In There Is a Bird on Your Head! (ISBN: 978-1-4231-0686-9), Piggie provides narration to an ever-more-frantic Gerald as two birds alight, nest and hatch their brood on his head. The two celebrate the invitation and prepare in ever more absurd fashion-it may be a “fancy pool costume party,” after all, and “WE MUST BE READY!” The end defies all prediction in a goodhearted, highly satisfying twist that will have readers giggling with delight. In I Am Invited to a Party! Piggie, a novice at parties, asks Gerald the Elephant for advice: “I know parties,” he says sagely. As in Today I Will Fly and My Friend Is Sad (March 2007), the text appears exclusively in speech balloons, the dialogue perfectly complemented and enhanced by clear cartoon illustrations that show a master of body language and pacing at the top of his game.
