Willems's simple text allows beginning readers independent success, although the text and illustrations also work well as a read-aloud. "Not my plan," thinks Gerald, but he also realizes that this arrangement is fine. By the time he decides in favor of sharing, it has melted into a puddle at his feet, and Gerald realizes that he "blew it." But timing is everything, and Piggie shows up at that moment with a cone of her own-and happily shares it. But worry sets in with thoughts of his best friend, Piggie-should he share his treat with her? As Gerald wrestles with the pros and cons, observant readers will notice that the ice cream is melting-fast. Gerald is excited about his "awesome, yummy, sweet, super, great, tasty, nice, cool ice cream" cone. PreS-Gr 2-Children will delight in this perfect drama for hot weather.
