Hilarious characters and signature cartoon drawings make this author/illustrator a family favorite. Includes Cat the Cat: Who Is That?, Elephant & Piggie: My Friend Is Sad, Knuffle Bunny, Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed, and The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!
The New York Times Book Review called Mo “the biggest new talent to emerge thus far in the 00's."
Mo’s work books have been translated into a myriad of languages, spawned animated shorts and theatrical musical productions, and his illustrations, wire sculpture, and carved ceramics have been exhibited in galleries and museums across the nation.
Mo began his career as a writer and animator for television, garnering 6 Emmy awards for his writing on Sesame Street, creating Nickelodeon's The Off-Beats, Cartoon Network’s Sheep in the Big City and head-writing Codename: Kids Next Door.
My second grader had to nominate a book for an award in her writing assignments this week. It was no surprise We Are in a Book by Mo Willems was her choice. If I had to nominate one of his Elephant and Piggie stories, it would be Lets Go For a Drive! We've read them all, but that was the first and a big reason we started and keep reading his books. Just a lot of fun all around.
