What does it do?
NOTHING!
Nothing?
Yes, nothing!
Watch!
PRESS!"
Wow! What a grand addition to the Elephant and Piggie Like Reading series! No wonder the two friends like the three goofy birds who star in this one ... they have the same wacky sense of humor shared by Elephant and Piggie.
"What are you reading, Piggie?"
"Tee-hee!
Nothing."
"NOTHING?
I can see
you are
reading something!"
"I am reading something
about nothing!"
"That is something
I want to read, too."
It literally is a story about nothing, and it is also exceptionally funny. Sure to have kids rolling their eyes and smiling at the silly antics, the button that needs to be pressed to have something happen seems to be of no real use. Yellow, Red and Blue Bird are very excited to have it in their possession. Blue Bird is not sure what it is. Told it is a button, and a red one at that, he asks what it does.
Imagine his surprise when told it does nothing. Despite that the birds are very excited. Blue Bird is surprised at how easy it is to press. And surprise is NOT nothing. Red Bird is sad when nothing happens. Sadness is NOT nothing. Yellow Bird insists it is of no use. An argument (that goes nowhere) ensues, until the red and blue bird convince the yellow one the button makes him funny. He likes that!
Performance assembly? YES! Read again and again and again? YES! Want more? YES! Piggie and Elephant feel exactly the same. Bring on the birds, Ms. Harper. PLEASE!
I will leave the last words to our favorite and abiding friends.
"This book makes me want to
press a button."
"I do not see any buttons
around here."
"I do!"
BEEP!
PRESS! (pressing Piggie's snout)
"I am
im-press-ed!"
