Brian ★★★★★

My kid giggled through the whole thing, and I found myself laughing at Gerald’s dramatic meltdown over waiting for the surprise. The back-and-forth dialogue is so snappy it reads like a mini play, perfect for two voices. We’ve already read it three times tonight.

Ruby ★★★★★

Gerald’s worry and Piggie’s grin make the back-and-forth so funny that my daughter giggles before we even turn the page. The twist ending actually got her to pause and think about patience, which is rare for a picture book.

Richard A. ★★★★★

My kid asks for this one every single night now, and honestly I don't mind reading it again because Gerald's panic and Piggie's glee over the surprise is just so funny. The back-and-forth dialogue is short and punchy, perfect for a squirmy four-year-old who's just learning to follow a story.
