Plot

An elephant called Gerald and a pig called Piggie want to go for a drive. Gerald decides they need a number of items for the trip like bags, a map, sunglasses and umbrellas. They sing as they get ready but unfortunately, they don't have a car. Gerald gets upset but then Piggie makes a suggestion, which makes everything better.

Reception

Kirkus Reviews finds that "The dauntless duo’s 18th outing employs Willems’ award-winning formula: color-coded speech bubbles; lots of white space; endearing visual characterization ... effortless phonetic play; thoughtfully designed endpapers; silliness."[2] Common Sense Media believes that it "...gives new readers a fun lesson in being flexible."[3]
