Are You Ready to Play Outside? by Mo Willems
There’s no question that Savannah has had some recent bouts of bone-chilling weather. On these days, we want to stay inside and warm up as much as possible. However, as everyone becomes nostalgic for some sunny outside play time, Are You Ready to Play Outside? is the perfect way to pass the time… In this book, Gerald the Elephant and Piggie (the Pig, of course) can’t wait to get in some fun outside time. However, their plans quickly change when it begins to rain, and so this duo learns how to make the best out of a wet situation.
Recommended for ages 3 to 7. A great book for intermediate readers to share their new storytelling skills with their family.
