Piggie is upset that a big guy has taken her ball. Gerald does not think this fair and goes to get her ball back only to discover that the big guy is a whale that is much bigger than he is. Gerald and Piggie make a new friend when they realize that the whale is only looking for someone to play with him. In this beginning reader, Willems reminds us that there are always two sides to every story. His cartoon like characters and solid white backgrounds allow children to focus on the simple text inside the speech bubbles. The speech bubbles grow in text with the emotions and voice level of the characters. The facial expressions that tell how the characters really feel and words work together perfectly to tell this entertaining story.
