Since we’re on the verge of a major cookie-eating holiday, it seems seasonally appropriate to feature a book that’s cookie-themed: Elephant & Piggie Like Reading! The Cookie Fiasco by Dan Santat. The review was written by our Elementary/Juvenile Nonfiction chair Jennifer Wharton, who is not a stranger to the Early Chapter Books category, where this book was nominated. In her review, she said:
“Elephant and Piggie are gone but not forgotten. Mo Willems has started a new imprint, with stories introduced and epilogued by the duo, featuring a variety of fun, well-known authors and illustrators. One of the first two books is written by Dan Santat, creator of Beekle and other favorites.”
