媒体评论

　　Kindergarten-Grade 3–In these two easy-to-read books, Willems

introduces two best friends. Gerald is a slightly stodgy,

bespectacled elephant with a stumpy, downturned trunk. Piggie is

more daring and whimsical, and, like many friends, the two

complement one another. In My Friend Is Sad, Piggie tries hard to

cheer her dejected friend. She disguises herself as a cowboy,

clown, and a robot, but Gerald doesn't recognize her and is sad

because she isn't there to enjoy the fun. Without missing a beat,

Piggie points out that he needs new glasses. In Today I Will Fly,

Piggie announces her intention to do so to her skeptical pal. In

the end, though, Gerald is making adventurous plans of his own.

With just a few tweaks of his expressive lines, Willems creates

engaging characters. The stories move briskly, with a minimal word

count and touches of whimsy throughout. Fans of the author's

previous books should check the endpapers for a cameo appearance of

his familiar pigeon. These simple, humorous stories will sound just

the right note for beginning readers.

　　——Marilyn Taniguchi, Beverly Hills Public Library, CA

　　Graphic-novel influences have reached into most areas of

children's book publishing; here, they crop up in a classic

genre--the friendship-duo easy reader--and chalk up yet another

success for two-time Caldecott Honor winner Willems. The basic

approach is familiar from Willems' previous books, especially Don't

Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! (2003). It's as if each page were one

frame of a comic strip: characters zip in and out of white space,

proffer speech-bubble remarks, and express emotion through spot-on

body language. In My Friend Is Sad, upbeat, outgoing Piggie cavorts

to cheer up depressed Elephant, whose doldrums are obvious from his

furrowed brow and drooping, stovepipelike trunk. Not having

recognized his costumed pal, the myopic elephant remains sad

because Piggie missed out on the fun. Accessible, appealing, and

full of authentic emotions about what makes friendships tick, this

will put a contemporary shine on easy-reader collections and give

Willems' many fans--whatever their age or reading level--two more

characters to love. (Vying for their affections is that

irrepressible pigeon, who, still utterly in character, finds his

way onto the endpapers.)
