I Broke My Trunk!

Willems, M. (2011). I Broke My Trunk! Illus. Mo Willems. New York, New York: Hyperion Books.

Annotation: This is a cute story about Gerald who broke his trunk. He was retelling the story to Piggy about how he broke his trunk. He was holding a couple hippos and a rhino, nothing that would be too heavy. :)

Genre: Author study

Grade Level: PreK-2nd

Readers who would like this: This would be a nice collaborative book for teachers to keep in their personal library. I think having a section completely dedicated to Mo Willems would be a great idea. His books really captivate readers.

Rating/Response: I give this book a 4. Like I have said before, Mo Willems brings simplicity to his illustrations and dialogue but he still puts on a grand display of what a children's book should look like.

Question: Have you ever broken a bone in your body?
