Gerald is careful. Piggie is not.
Piggie cannot help smiling. Gerald can.
Gerald worries so that Piggie does not have to.
Gerald and Piggie are best friends.

In A Big Guy Took My Ball!, Piggie is devastated when a big guy takes the ball she has been playing with. Gerald is big too – but is he big enough to help his best friend? Mo Willems creates another hilarious escapade starring the award-winning duo that will have early readers breaking into laughter from the first page.
